MUMBAI: Veteran actor Sooraj Thapar and his actress-wife Dipti Dhyani are on cloud nine! The couple recently welcomed their second child.

 They welcome their baby boy on the auspicious day of Gudi Padwa.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, are already proud parents to a five-year-old boy, Vishvm, and this time, they were hoping for a girl.

In an interview with Bombay Times, Sooraj, who is 51, said, “Dipti and I were desperately hoping for a girl, but God has blessed us with a boy again. Do bete hain toh eventually do betiyaan bhi aayengi shaadi ke baad. In fact, Dipti was so keen on having a girl that she requested the doctors to check again after the delivery. We couldn’t stop laughing at her reaction.”

“Well, we had thought of some names for the girl. Now, we will start scouting names for the boy,” he further shared with the publication.   

Sooraj Thapar is known for shows like Sasural Genda Phool, Hum Saat Aath Hain, and Ekk Nayi Pehchaan, while his wife Dipti Dhyani has acted in soaps like Kairi- Rishta Khatta Meetha and Chhanchhan.
