“With abundant happiness and our hearts full of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on 15th February, we welcomed our baby boy Akaay and Vamika’s little brother into this world! We seek your blessings and good wishes in this beautiful time in our lives. We request you to kindly respect our privacy at this time," read the post.

The couple's post has been flooded with love since made.

The comments thread on Anushka's Instagram post exploded instantly with messages from friends. "How beautiful, congratulations," wrote Alia Bhatt. Ranveer Singh left hearts and evil eyes. Shweta Bachchan wrote, "Congratulations" as did Sonam Kapoor. "God bless," commented bride-to-be Rakul Preet Singh.
