Actor Tanuj Virwani and his wife Tanya Jacob have been blessed with a baby girl on September 24. Tanuj, who is extremely happy and on cloud nine, said, "The delivery was smooth. I was with her throughout, and the entire process was incredible. Tanya was in pain but she behaved like a champ and she braved it all. The moment was surreal and witnessing the entire process in real time was incredible. No matter how much you build these happy moments and when you actually go through it you realise it's an incredible blessing."

The couple hasn't thought of any names yet. Tanuj added, "We look at the janamkundli before deciding the name. The last one year has been great. This year, last time, I wasn't even married and now I am a father so it is a beautiful start to a new chapter of our lives."

Sharing how his mom, actress Rati Agnihotri reacted, Tanuj said, "She was crying with tears in her eyes. She is completely over the moon and happy to become a grandmother."

Tanuj in an earlier interview had shared how he was excited to become a father soon. He said, "It was chat-mangni-pat-byaah and now we are on our way to starting a family. Honestly, I did not expect to become a father so soon, but I consider this gift as God's blessings. Tanya and I wanted to start a family right after our marriage in December and luckily, it happened. My parents, especially my mom (Rati Agnihotri), are ecstatic that she is going to become a grandmother. She could not believe it when we broke the news and even I was overwhelmed when Tanya told me about it. We are both hoping to have a happy, healthy child. We do not have any preferences."

On the work front, Tanuj was last seen hosting Splitsvilla 15 and he is currently seen in a web series Murshid with Kay Kay Menon.

Tanuj Virwani got engaged to his girlfriend Tanya Jacob, a corporate professional, who he has known for nearly nine years.

The Inside Edge actor, who is actress Rati Agnihotri’s son, says, “Tanya’s parents and my family have been good friends from many years. I have known Tanya for nine years, but we started dating a year ago. She relocated from Singapore to Mumbai so that we could get to know each other. We got engaged on November 17 in Singapore in the presence of friends and family members.”

Tanuj excitedly adds, “Yes, finally, I am getting married. I have always felt that one should not get married only because they have hit a certain age or there’s pressure from the family. My mum wanted me to get married ever since I turned 32, but I wanted to settle down financially and in my career. Marriage is all about compatibility and friendship, so I waited for the right girl.”

Talking about marrying a girl who is not from the film industry, Tanuj, who has done web shows like Code M and films like Love U Soniyo, says, “Tanya does not belong to the film industry, but since the past one year, she has been accompanying me to parties and even on set. She has understood my work and is very supportive. She brings a sense of calm to my life. After marriage, she will work in Mumbai.”

About their marriage plans, and he says, “We are finalizing details. There will be a big announcement soon.”
