Among the first to arrive at Mumbai's Hinduja Hospital, where the baby was born, was Shahid's actress mother Neelima Azim and his brother Ishaan Khatter.

Neelima Azim could barely contain her joy.

"I feel on top of the world!" she exclaimed. "God bless the couple and their children. Now my elder son's family is complete. I feel very emotional about it, and profoundly happy."

"My jaan Misha has her own baby brother now. She is a wonderful little girl and she will be a very a caring didi. To be a grandma a second time... I can't express my happiness. I feel gloriously blessed. God is very kind," she said.

"Both my boys are very special," the proud mother added. "They take very good care of me. I share a terrific bonding with both of them, and they are very close to one another."

She posted a picture of them on Instagram and wrote, 'Congratulations my loves. It's a boy.'
