All about the good news

The announcement quickly drew attention online, with fans and celebrities congratulating the family and praising the meaning behind the baby’s unique name. Sonam and Anand, who are known for sharing glimpses of their personal milestones with followers, described the moment as deeply spiritual and meaningful for their family.

In their note, the couple wrote, “With love and gratitude, we welcome Rudralokh Kapoor Ahuja.” They further described the birth as “a karmic alignment” and called their younger son a “divine pairing” with Vayu. The heartfelt message reflected the couple’s emotional connection to the name and the significance they associate with their newborn’s arrival.
