Alia, Ranbir become proud parents to baby girl

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor became parents on Sunday as the couple welcomed a baby girl. The news has been confirmed by Ranbir’s sister Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, reports Hindustan Times.

Alia delivered the baby at HN Reliance Hospital, Girgaon in Mumbai just hours after she arrived at the hospital with husband Ranbir.

The couple was accompanied by Alia’s mother Soni Razdan and Ranbir’s mother Neetu Kapoor.

News of Alia and Ranbir’s baby’s birth was followed by a flurry of social media messages congratulating the couple.

“And in the best news of our lives: Our baby is here...and what a magical girl she is. We are officially bursting with love - blessed and obsessed Parents!!! love love love Alia and Ranbir,” Alia wrote on her official Facebook account.

Earlier on June 27, Alia caught everyone by surprise when she announced her pregnancy. Alia had shared her pregnancy announcement via an Instagram post featuring an ultrasound that was half-concealed with a heart emoji, and the back of husband Ranbir. The second image featured a lioness nuzzling her partner’s face as their cub looked up at them. She wrote in the caption, “Our baby… coming soon.”

Alia and Ranbir married in Mumbai in April. The couple had an intimate ceremony that was attended by their close friends and family. Alia will soon be seen in the much-talked-about international spy thriller, Heart of Stone, alongside Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan. Alia and Ranbir’s last film was Brahmastra, where the two were seen together for the first time. The film, directed by Ayan Mukerji, is one of the biggest hits in India this year.

On the work front, Alia has ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’ as well as ‘Heart of Stone’ in the pipeline.
