"To all their well-wishers, Nikitin Dheer and Kratika Sengar Dheer have been blessed with a baby girl this morning. Wishing the little angel and the new parents on town, all the happiness," a note from their spokesperson read. The couple had an arranged marriage in 2014, which was fixed by Nikitin's father, veteran actor Pankaj Dheer.

In November, speaking with ETimes, Kratika had confirmed her pregnancy and said, “Nikitin is on a cloud and I don't even know the number! He is very excited to become a father and I feel extremely blessed and grateful that I will become a mother soon.” Nikitin had spoken to Bombay Times about preparing their house for their first child. “My mother and Kratika have done a cool job at doing up the baby’s room. I would say that my child is really lucky kyunki hamare time mein toh yeh sahooliyatein nahi thi (these luxuries didn't exist in our time),” he said.

Kratika has appeared in several TV shows, starting with Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and going to act in several other popular titles like Kasautii Zindagii Kay and Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki. She had a cameo in Choti Sarrdaarni in 2021.
