Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor and her husband, businessman Anand Ahuja, are officially a family of four. A week after welcoming their second child, a baby boy, Sonam took to Instagram on Friday, April 3, to share the first candid moments of her newborn from the hospital.
The couple, who are already parents to three-year-old Vayu, welcomed their second son on March 29, 2026.
A Moment of Pure Bliss
In a series of soulful images, Sonam is seen resting on a hospital bed at HN Reliance Hospital, gently cradling her newborn. The baby, wrapped in a simple white cloth, rests against her chest while the actress glows with a quiet, closed-eye smile. Another photo in the carousel shows a more relatable side of postpartum life, featuring Sonam having a meal in her hospital room.
Accompanying the photos was a deeply personal note of thanks. Sonam wrote:
“Grateful beyond words… Feeling deeply grateful, cared for, and blessed.”
Special Thanks to the Medical Team
Sonam used the platform to highlight the “exceptional” care she received, specifically naming her OBGYN, Dr. Avaan Dadina, who has now guided the actress through both of her pregnancies.
- The Trust Factor: Sonam noted the “trust, calm, and reassurance” provided by her doctor, calling it a rare and precious experience.
- A Vision of Care: She also extended her thanks to Nita Ambani for creating a medical space where “excellence and compassion exist so seamlessly together.”
- Professionalism with Heart: The actress praised the entire staff for their “gentleness, empathy, and genuine care,” noting that such humanity in a hospital setting made the experience truly meaningful.
