Neil Nitin Mukesh and wife, Rukmini Sahay, are expecting their first child. The actor made a cute announcement about his wife’s pregnancy on his social media accounts yesterday. This comes right around the time when Shahid Kapoor-Mira Rajput and Sania Mirza-Shoaib Akhtar have also announced pregnancies. Well, turns out it was a conscious decision for Neil to keep the pregnancy of his wife away from the news cycle for months. In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, the actor said.”We learnt of the pregnancy a few of months ago but wanted for things to settle in before making the news public.”

Now, Neil and Nitin are off to Dubai for a lavish shopping spree. He further added, “Previous trips to Abu Dhabi had been all about shopping for us, but this time it is entirely focussed on our baby. We are picking out things in neutral colours because we don’t know yet if it’s a boy or a girl. I just want to make sure that Rukmini is happy. We have been visiting all the maternity sections in malls and it’s amazing to see tiny mittens and baby clothes. It’s overwhelming and exciting as well.” While everything will be fresh for the baby, the cot will be a vintage one. Neil revealed that his mother has already brought out the cot that has been passed down for generations. ALSO READ: Congratulations!

His wife, Rukmini, also said, “Neil will be an excellent father just as he is a fantastic husband. He loves children. The family has been taking good care of me. We have been doing a spot of baby shopping for a few months now, apart from activities like meditation, yoga and music.”
