Ever since the actress married her businessman beau, Raj Kundra, the couple has been giving us pure family goals. Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra decided to start their forever by tying the knot on November 22, 2009. Three years into their courtship, the duo then welcomed their son Viaan Raj Kundra in 2012. From wishing each other on anniversaries and birthday’s on social media and sharing videos of their Sunday binge, the trio has garnered the nation’s love through their social media presence. However, it was on February 21st that their fans received another great news as the couple shared the ecstatic news of welcoming their second child, a baby girl with the world. Shilpa and Raj Kundra took to their respective Instagram handles and shared a snapshot of the baby’s hands along with a heartfelt note.
The actress’s post came as a surprise to her fans as the media had no clue that the couple was expecting their second child. Shilpa Shetty is undoubtedly one of the coolest and fittest moms in Btown who has inspired other women to workout and be their best even at the age of 40. Being a fitness advocate and a yoga lover, Shilpa has managed to redefine 40 by sending across the message that age is just a number. From having her own YouTube channel that features healthy recipes and workout videos, to publishing a book named ‘The Great Indian Diet’ and being a judge on several reality shows, the actress has succeeded in every role she ventured into.

In the same interview, the Baazigar actress stated how she had already made several work commitments by signing dates in February for movies such as Nikamma and Hungama when she came to know that they were going to be parents and will welcome their second child around that time.
