Reportedly, the couple was together in the delivery room awaiting the arrival of their bundle of joy. Ankit says, “Rashi was in immense pain during her labour, which lasted for 16 hours. At one moment, I felt so helpless that I stepped out and cried. But once the baby was born, we forgot all the pain.”

He calls his little one a honeymoon baby. He shares, “I got married amidst the lockdown. Rashi and I couldn’t travel anywhere. Around that time, I was offered a show and had to join the shoot immediately. So, we came to Mumbai expecting the stay to last for a couple of months. However, Rashi got pregnant and we couldn’t travel back to Delhi for the first three months. We stayed back for good (smiles). So, yes, it’s a honeymoon baby for us.”

During the second lockdown, he returned to acting after his last show Agniphera in 2018. Gera featured in a few music videos too and is also keen to do OTT.
