Mumbai : Comedian Kapil Sharma and Ginni Chatrath have been blessed with a baby girl on Tuesday. The former made the announcement with a heartfelt post on social media.

Introducing the newest member of his family, Kapil Sharma tweeted: "Blessed to have a baby girl. Need your blessings. Love you all."

Kapil Sharma and Ginni Chatrath had tied knot as per Hindu and Sikh traditions in Jalandhar in December last year.

Earlier this year, Kapil Sharma had announced in an interview about the pregnancy of Ginni. Talking to Mumbai Mirror, he had said, "I just want to take care of my wife and be by her side for now. We are obviously very excited as it's our first kid but my mother is the most excited. She has been waiting for this moment for years now. We are just praying for Ginni and the baby's health." Kapil added that it's a "happy time" for the family: "There is no prep because we don't know if it would be a boy or girl. It's a happy time for the family and everybody is looking forward to welcome the new member."
