Sonam Kapoor reveals how her father Anil Kapoor reacted about her pregnancy: ‘He was the one who got emotional when I told him I was expecting’

Sonam recalled, "I think my dad is scared. He doesn’t see himself as a grandparent—for a long time, he didn’t even see himself as a parent—but he was the one who got emotional when I told him I was expecting. He was shooting for Jugjugg Jeeyo in Chandigarh sometime before I broke the news to them and Mum and he were visiting some temples around the area. Now, Dad isn’t particularly religious or spiritual, so when Mum jokingly asked him what he was going to pray for, and he responded, “A grandchild,” she was shocked. One of the most amazing things about Dad is that he has always focused on his daughters’ careers. With him, it was never about “Who are you dating” or “You need to get married.” He always said, “Settle down when you’re ready and if you want, you can even stay at home for the rest of your life.”

The couple had a baby boy recently. The statement from Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja read, "On 20.08.2022, we welcomed our beautiful baby boy with bowed heads and open hearts. Thank you to all the doctors, nurses, friends and family who have supported us on this journey. It's only the beginning but we know our lives are forever changed."

Meanwhile, Sonam Kapoor will next star in the film, Blind.
