On the sidelines of the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week Winter-Festive 2016, actress Jacqueline Fernandez said: "I would like to congratulate Mira and Shahid for the new addition to their family. It's lovely."
Mira was admitted to the hospital on August 24 ahead of her delivery. Sources suggest that both the mother and daughter will be discharged within a couple of days. Shahid, who has been around his wife all through and taking special care about her delivery, is no doubt a happy father now.
Shahid, who was recently seen in Udta Punjab, took a break from work to be with Mira.
The actor Instagrammed adorable pictures with Mira recently. Have a look:
Shahid and Mira had met at a 'satsang' as both their families are followers of the religious group Radha Soami Satsang Beas, a philosophical organisation based on the spiritual teachings of all religions.
In April this year, Shahid had announced that he was going to be a dad soon.
