The news of the baby's birth comes shortly after the singer announced her pregnancy on March 4.

The 36-year-old singer took to Instagram and shared her picture cradling the baby bump and penned a caption that read, "Baby #Shreyaditya is on its way! @shiladitya and I are thrilled to share this news with you all."

"Need all your love and blessings as we prepare ourselves for this new chapter in our lives," she added.

The singer tied the knot with Mukhopadhyaya, 37, in 2015 after a courtship of almost a decade.

Ghoshal has sung several popular songs, including 'Ghar More Pardesiya' from 'Kalank', the title track of 'Dhadak', 'Deewani Mastani' from 'Bajirao Mastani' and 'Bairi Piya' from 'Devdas', which marked her debut in 2002.
