It’s euphoric, we have a new friend Malik with us: Mohit on becoming a father
The moment I held the baby in my arms was magical.
MOHIT MALIK, Actor
Actor couple Mohit Malik and Aditi Shirwaikar Malik have become proud parents of a boy on April 27. The couple took to Instagram to share the good news and captioned the post, “Dear Universe, Thank you for this blessing! Thank you for these midnight cries and all that comes with it...”
As they welcome ‘Baby Malik’ to the world, the “euphoric” father is feeling over the moon. He says, “It’s a whole new feeling that I am experiencing. We have a new member, a new friend, another soul with us. Euphoric is the word.”
However, the actor could not be the birth companion with his wife during her delivery. He shares, “I couldn’t be with her because of Covid-19 restrictions.” Nevertheless, he recalls the moment when he held the baby in his arms. “It was magical. Those first few steps I took towards the baby, I don’t even remember. My mind stopped working. Those were the best 15 seconds of my life,” he says.
Talking about how he will juggle between daddy duties and work, he says he hasn’t come up with a plan yet. “Aditi and I, we both believe in living in the moment. I’m a workaholic, but I haven’t planned anything. It still takes me by surprise that I have a baby now,” he shares.
The couple had shortlisted names for a boy and a girl. He reveals, “I desired to have a baby girl, but we have picked a couple of names that we will reveal soon.”
