Bollywood diva Shilpa Shetty, who is happily married to London based businessman Raj Kundra, today became a proud mother of a baby boy.
Reportedly, the gorgeous actress gave birth to a healthy baby boy in the wee hours of the morning at a hospital in Khar. Raj Kundra, Shilpa’s spouse and the father of the new born, took to social networking site Twitter to share his joy.
Expressing his happiness, the proud and elated father tweeted, “God has blessed us with a beautiful baby boy. Both mother and baby are fine. I am thrilled to bits.”
Talking about Shilpa and the new born baby, a source close to the actress, as quoted in TOI, stated, “The baby and mother are doing fine. Shilpa’s husband Raj Kundra was by Shilpa’s side from the beginning till the time she was admitted and till her delivery at the break of dawn.
“It was only after he saw the baby that he finally left home to go and rest. Raj and his family and Shilpa’s entire family, including mother Sunanda and sister Shamita, were present.
“Dr. Kiran Coelho delivered the baby at a healthcare hospital in Khar. Though Shilpa was due any day on Sunday she had gone for a normal check up but the doctors admitted her immediately as the contractions had begun.”
