Pragya Kapoor with her son Shamsher
Rock On! director Abhishek Kapoor and his wife Pragya Kapoor were blessed with a baby boy Tuesday morning. It was a double celebration for Abhishek as on the same date - August 28 - his 1st film as a director, Rock On!! completed a decade of its release.
Abhishek Kapoor shared the first glimpse of his new-born, whom the couple named Shamsher. He took to Instagram and wrote a message that read: I started my career as an actor and did a number of movies as a leading man. Many of them didn't even see the light of day and the ones that did, failed miserably. Then I wrote a story called Aryan and made a shift to direction. That movie didn't succeed either. I went back to work and made another movie which many thought would barely make a mark. On the 28th of August 2008, exactly 10 yrs ago, that movie, 'Rock On!' premiered and went on to succeed like no other that year and won 2 national awards. I had finally got my head out of the water and could breathe. Today, exactly 10 yrs later to mark a decade, my wife and I have been blessed with a baby boy. His mother is the strongest and most secure person I know. She came into my life cause a higher power willed it so and no one could have given me a better gift to mark this momentous day. The ease with which our son has entered this world carried the same confidence his mother has... like a lion.. In fact he is a 1st amongst lions.
His mother and I have decided to call him.. Shamsher (sic).
Kapoor even took to Instagram sharing a video of his three-year-old son Isana. You must check this adorable video:
Hrithik Roshan's ex-wife Sussanne Khan congratulated the couple saying, "Your legacy has just begun my friend.. the depth of this brother to brother bond is going to inspire you n prags with each passing day.. welcome gorgeous Shamsher...life awaits your uniqueness.big congratulations to all three of U"
Our regards to the couple!
