Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut recently took to Instagram to share the joyous news of her brother Aksht Ranaut and sister-in-law Ritu Ranaut welcoming their baby boy. In an emotionally charged post, the actress revealed the name of the newest addition to their family, drawing inspiration from Indian mythology.
The couple chose the name Akshwathama Ranaut, a name with deep mythological significance. In the Mahabharata, Ashwatthama, on the Kaurava side, played a significant role in the Kurukshetra war. He became a Chiranjivi (immortal) after receiving Lord Shiva’s blessing. The newborn’s name beautifully combines his father’s name, Aksht, with this legendary figure.
Kangana shared a heartfelt series of photographs featuring herself, her mother, and sister Rangoli Chandel as they spent precious moments with the newborn at the hospital. Kangana, dressed in a pink saree, cradled the baby in her arms, and her mother also shared tender moments with the newborn. Emotions ran high in these heartwarming photos.
In the accompanying caption, Kangana expressed her joy and gratitude, stating, “Today, on this blessed day, our family is graced with a child. My brother Aksht and his wife Ritu are blessed with a son. We have named him Akshwathama Ranaut, a truly stunning and attractive boy. May you all bless our new family member, as we share our infinite happiness with you all. The Ranaut family.”
Kangana also dedicated a special post to her sister-in-law Ritu, sharing endearing images of the baby with her parents. She conveyed her love and blessings for Ritu and Aksht as they embark on this beautiful chapter of their lives.
The actress is currently gearing up for her upcoming film, “Tejas,” directed by Sarvesh Mewara, which is set to hit theaters on October 27. Additionally, she is preparing for her role as the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film “Emergency.”
The Ranaut family’s joyous announcement has received warm wishes from fans and the film industry, marking a significant moment in their lives.
