The child was born on July 15, reported Indian media. Malhotra’s parents were seen arriving in Mumbai for the occasion.

Among the celebrities who rushed to congratulate the couple was Sunil Grover, who wrote on social media: "Bestttttt!!!!!!! Badhai ho mummy daddy ko! Congratulations." And Indian fashion designer Manish Malhotra and actor Sanjay Kapoor reacted to the announcement with heart emojis.

We first heard about the pregnancy in February.

As far as we know, the couple believes in conscious parenting. In an interview, quoted by Times Now News, Malhotra spoke about his approach to raising children, saying: "It's definitely something that parents can be conscious of - what they are really feeding their kids in terms of culture, in terms of being examples. The best way, in my book, though it's a very difficult way, as we've all spoken about - is to definitely get your boys in check while they are growing up."

Forty-year-old Malhotra, known for movies such as Yodha and Hasee Toh Phasee, and Advani, of Satyaprem Ki Katha fame, married in 2023 in a ceremony at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.

Reportedly, the couple began dating after working together on the 2021 movie Shershaah.

Besides being parents, they also have individual projects they are working towards.

Advani’s next movie is called Toxic, where she’ll be seen sharing screen space opposite Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR.

Malhotra, meanwhile, will be seen in Param Sundari, which will also star Janhvi Kapoor.
