In a heartwarming announcement that delighted their fans and well-wishers, former Indian cricketer Zaheer Khan and Bollywood actor Sagarika Ghatge shared the joyous news of becoming parents.
The couple, who have been married since 2017, took to Instagram to introduce their newborn son, whom they have lovingly named Fatehsinh Khan.
Accompanying the announcement were a series of adorable photographs that perfectly captured this special new chapter in their lives.
One of the images features Zaheer Khan comfortably seated on a chair, tenderly cradling their little bundle of joy in his arms, while Sagarika Ghatge leans in affectionately, wrapping her arms around both her husband and their newborn.
The picture radiates warmth, love, and the contentment of new parenthood.
Another heart-melting photo shared by the couple offers a close-up glimpse of their baby’s tiny, delicate hands, gently held and enclosed by the protective hands of both his parents — a tender visual symbol of the love and security that surrounds him.
In her Instagram caption, Sagarika expressed their profound gratitude and happiness, writing, “With love, gratitude, and divine blessing, we welcome our precious baby boy, Fatehsinh Khan.” Her words reflected the couple’s immense joy as they embarked on this exciting new phase as parents.
As expected, the announcement was met with an outpouring of love and congratulatory messages from friends, family, and fellow celebrities across the entertainment and sports industries. Actor Huma Qureshi shared her joy with a simple yet heartfelt heart emoji in the comments section.
Actress Diana Penty enthusiastically wrote, “Congratulations, you guys!!!!” Radio host and presenter Gaurav Kapoor also joined in to celebrate the couple’s happy news.
Longtime friend and actor Angad Bedi, who shares a close bond with the couple, offered his wishes in a spiritual tone, commenting, “Waheguru.
” Cricketer Harbhajan Singh also extended his blessings, writing, “Congratulations to you both. Waheguru Meher Kare.” Filmmaker Pragya Kapoor was among the many who left her congratulatory note, adding to the wave of heartfelt messages the couple received.
Zaheer and Sagarika’s journey as a couple has long captured the public’s affection, ever since their relationship became known in the years leading up to their wedding.
The two tied the knot in 2017, after Zaheer’s romantic proposal during an Indian Premier League (IPL) season — a sweet moment Sagarika once shared during an interview with Hauterrfly.
Reflecting on their relationship, Sagarika had candidly opened up about their interfaith marriage and how, although some questions were naturally raised by people around them, both her and Zaheer’s families offered unwavering support.
She emphasized that the conversations about religion were not a central concern for them or their immediate families.
In the same interview, Sagarika revealed, “No, not really. I think, like I said, it was more about other people around us who were making that conversation.
But I think my parents are very progressive.” She went on to highlight what mattered most in her decision to marry Zaheer, saying, “Of course, things were discussed, but I think, for me, it was important to find the right human being with whom I could share my life.”
As they now embrace parenthood, the couple continues to inspire with their strong bond, mutual respect, and enduring love, now adding a new member to their family.
Their fans and loved ones are surely looking forward to more precious glimpses of baby Fatehsinh Khan in the days to come.
