Fans can’t stop smiling after veteran actor Shabana Azmi’s heartwarming message to new dad Arbaaz Khan went viral. The Bollywood star, who recently welcomed a baby girl with wife Sshura Khan, replied in the sweetest way possible.
Arbaaz and Shura became proud parents to their daughter, Sipaara, on October 5. Congratulating the actor on this new chapter, Shabana Azmi shared a cheerful picture on Instagram featuring Arbaaz cutting a cake while Javed Akhtar and others celebrated.
Alongside the photo, she wrote, “Congratulations #ArbaazKhan on the arrival of #Sipaara. Warning: She will make you dance around her fingers. That’s the birthright of a daughter.” Arbaaz’s response melted hearts as he replied, “More than happy to dance around her little finger. Bahut Bahut Shukriyaa.” His affectionate comment quickly gained attention, with fans admiring his excitement as a new father.
The actor tied the knot with makeup artist Sshura Khan in an intimate nikah ceremony at his sister Arpita Khan Sharma’s Mumbai residence in December 2023. Their close-knit wedding was attended by family and close friends, including Salman Khan. Earlier in June, Arbaaz had confirmed Shura’s pregnancy, expressing how thrilled he was to embrace fatherhood again after more than two decades.
In a past interview, Arbaaz had reflected on this new phase, saying it gave him a renewed sense of joy and responsibility. “It’s a fresh new feeling for me all over again. I’m excited, happy, and looking forward to it,” he had shared.
The Khan family also hosted a beautiful baby shower for Shura before the delivery, attended by Salman Khan, Arhaan Khan, and several friends from the industry. A few days before giving birth, Sshura was admitted to PD Hinduja Hospital, where the couple welcomed baby Sipaara. The proud parents later introduced their daughter to the world with a heartfelt Instagram post that read, “Welcome baby girl Sipaara Khan. With love, Shura and Arbaaz,” with Shura adding, “Alhamdulillah.”
