Singer Sunidhi Chauhan and her musician husband Hitesh Sonik became proud parents of a baby boy on Monday. The baby was born in Mumbai’s Surya hospital.

Sunidhi’s father, Dushyant Chauhan, now an ecstatic granddad, told Mirror, “Both Hitesh and Sunidhi were confident it would be a girl so they kept looking for names of girls till the last minute. Their list had no names of boys. My wife and I were the only ones who thought it would be a boy but when we told her that, Sunidhi would say, ‘Papa aise mat bolo, I want my baby girl!’ Now, of course, everyone is ecstatic but the parents still have to pick a name for their son.”

Talking about her pregnancy Sunidhi had recently told Mirror (August 15, 2017), “I’m new to this so I don’t know how to plan. Our families will have a go at it because they know better. Hitesh is really excited like any father-to-be.”

On Tuesday, Dushyant shared that the baby was born at 5.24pm and Sunidhi is expected to be discharged in three days. “The family has gathered here in the hospital. Both Sunidhi and the baby are doing well. We will celebrate once they are back home,” he beamed, going on to reveal the occasion is doubly special for his family because they haven’t had a boy in their home after a long time. “Even I have two daughters, Sunidhi and Suneha, though both are like sons to me and so are my son-in-laws. I can’t wait for my grandson to grow up and take him to the park.”
