She began her post by saying that her prayers were answered and said, “Lakshmi arrives just before Diwali!! IT’S A GIRL!!!! Congratulations @asopacharu & @rajeevsen9 …what a beauty she is!!!

Rajeev took to the comments section and wrote, “What a blessed day & i love my sister c u tonight , come jaldi se , we 3 are waiting Mvuaaaaaah.” Charu added, “Love you a lot didi. Bua ki jaan aagayi finally.”

Charu had announced that she was expecting her first baby with Rajeev in the summer. She shared the news on Instagram. Following her post, her sister-in-law Sushmita dedicated a post on the platform to Charu and wrote, “I can’t wait to hold the little one!!! Charu has been waiting a long time for this & given her love for children, I just know, she’ll be an amazing mother!! To the Sen & Asopa family…Bahut Bahut Mubarak!! I love you guys!!!”

The family was hoping that the baby would share her birthday with Sushmita, who celebrates it on November 19.

In August, Charu and Rajeev hosted a baby shower at their new home in Mumbai. They had shared pictures from the gathering on Instagram. Susmita, her daughters Renee and Alisah, and her boyfriend Rohman Shawl also attended the ceremony.

“The theme we decided had to be Indian and simple, because we’re in the pandemic times. We can’t have a large gathering of people, so just our family, didi (Sushmita), the kids, and a few close friends,” she told Hindustan Times at the time.
