MUMBAI: Many Bollywood and TV couples are all set to become parents in 2021, and actors Aniruddh Dave and Shubhi Ahuja are also one of the lucky couples who are expecting their first child in February 2021.
Aniruddh and Shubhi had tied the knot in Jaipur (on November 2015).
Sharing the good news, Aniruddh says, “We both are very happy and getting ready to welcome a new member in the family. I am happy and excited but considering the current situation, I am a little nervous too. We are enjoying this new phase of our lives. I read books, sing and even play mouth organ for her. This has become a daily routine. Recently, we also had a karaoke session to make her feel happy.”.
Being all set to welcome his newborn, Aniruddh is preparing himself to be a perfect father by re-learning the classic 'nursery rhymes' for his child.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the couple is following all the necessary precautions.
Aniruddh adds, “Shubhi is a self-dependent person and tries to manage everything on her own. Though our parents wanted to come to Mumbai to take care of her, she does not want to put anyone’s life in danger. So, we have requested them to stay where they are. We make video calls every now and then and get tips from our parents about parenthood. Every day, we get a parcel of laddus, or special treats and delicacies from Kota and Jaipur, for Shubhi. Our parents cannot be with us, but they don’t want to miss out on the fun to treat her in a special way.”.
The couple wanted to have a grand 'Baby Shower', but have kept the plans on hold as it’s not safe to have any gatherings right now.
Aniruddh is taking utmost care of Shubhi as a dotting husband. Leaving her all alone in Mumbai to join the shoot of his film in London (on September) was extremely difficult for him.
“The pandemic has already taken its toll, and we have to resume work some or the other day. But leaving Shubhi in Mumbai was very difficult. I was in London for almost a month and when I came back, I got myself quarantined to ensure the safety of Shubhi and my child.”, he adds.
