Bollywood Actor Shilpa Shetty Blessed with a Baby Boy

Shilpa Shetty joined the list of Bollywood moms on May 21, 2012 when she gave birth to a healthy baby boy at Hinduja Healthcare Surgical Hospital in suburban Khar. Her husband Raj Kundra was on seventh heaven and he was the one who broke the news to the world when he tweeted, “God has blessed us with a beautiful baby boy. Both mother and baby are fine. I am thrilled to bits.” Raj was with his celebrity wife since the beginning till the time she was admitted and till her delivery during early morning on Monday.

Raj was so excited at becoming father for the first time that he was right there in the hospital since Shilpa was brought there and left only after he saw the face of his child. His tweets after the arrival of the baby aptly reflected his joy and ecstasy. He thanked his wife along with Dr. Cohelho and the staff of the hospital and tweeted, “A big thank you to my wife @TheShilpaShetty for the bestest gift ever, Dr. Kiran Cohelho and all the staff at Hinduja Hospital.” Raj did not forget to thank all the fans for their good wishes and blessings on this important occasion.

Entire family of Shilpa and Raj was present at the hospital to celebrate this happy occasion including her mother Sunanda and sister Shamita. The delivery of Shilpa was due any day. She had gone to the hospital for a regular check up but the doctors thought it better to admit her immediately as the contractions had started. Shilpa had a normal delivery and there were absolutely no complications. She is reported to be healthy and doing fine after the delivery and is being cared for well by the experienced doctors and staff at the popular boutique hospital.

Shilpa Shetty, who shot to international fame and celebrity status with the UK version of the reality show Big Brother in 2007, met Raj Kundra in the same year at a party which was hosted by her friend and business partner Kiran Bawa. Both Shilpa and Raj got along well and got engaged in October of 2009. They were married on November 22, 2009 and have been one of the most high profile couples since then. Their marriage was a really grand affair with a variety of cuisines being served at live counters and a nine-tier cake that weighed 80 kilograms.

Following the strategy of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Shilpa too has not allowed the photographers to get a glimpse of her bundle of joy. The couple has not released any pic of their child on Twitter either. The world is still awaiting the first pictures of this celebrity baby and no one knows how long the wait is going to be. According to reports, the couple has not yet decided about the name of their child and the baby, it seems, does not even have a pet name as of now.

Talking of baby names, the most popular star kid right now is the six-month-old granddaughter of Megastar Amitabh Bachchan. The baby, we have been told, has been named Aaradhya Bachchan. Aaradhya is a lovely name and also starts with the alphabet A. Let us hope that Shilpa take a clue from this and decides on a wonderful name for her baby boy.

If Shilpa decides to tread the line of the Bachchans again, we might get something like Sparsh, Sneh, or Sanket as a name for her little one as all these names also start with the alphabet S. However, these are all assumptions and the final decision obviously lies with Shilpa and her husband only. As fans, we can only wish loads of happiness and joy to the couple as well as to their little prince.
