Popular television actress Puja Banerjee who was pregnant with her first child with husband Kunal Verma, has given birth to a healthy baby boy today. The actress had shared her pregnancy news on social media with a sweet picture that saw her flaunting a growing baby bump on August 15. Confirming the news of the arrival of the family's third and newest member, Kunal told a leading daily that Puja and the baby are doing fine.
"Puja and I are proud and extremely happy to share that we are parents of a lovely baby boy today. I was with Puja in the operation theatre, while she delivered our baby. Both Puja and the baby are doing fine and I am extremely thankful to God for his blessings," Kunal told.
Puja and Kunal, earlier this year, had a registered marriage. Talking to a leading daily a while ago, Puja said, "We had a lot of dreams for our wedding, and had planned everything to the T. However, the pandemic changed everything and even my mother, who lives in Kolkata, could not attend our registered wedding. I am hoping to have a regular ceremony and do my pheras with Kunal after the baby arrives. Hopefully, my mother will also be able to attend it."
Puja, who was seen in the show Maa Vaishnodevi, quit the show after she learned about her pregnancy. "I would have continued working even during pregnancy, but due to the pandemic, I felt that it was important to take precautions and stay at home. I plan to get back to work by next year and hopefully, the pandemic will be over by then," she told the daily.
