Neha Marda, best known for her role in the television series Balika Vadhu, gave birth to her first child, a daughter, in Kolkata on April 7. The actor had already been admitted to the hospital as she had some complications in her pregnancy in the final trimester.

Since the baby is premature, she has been moved to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for observation.

Neha Marda and her husband Ayushman Agarwal welcomed their daughter on Friday.

The actor had announced her pregnancy in November 2022 with a post that was captioned, "This is such a beautiful “US” which I can’t express . We were never desperate for “U “but today I feel we needed “YOU”. YOU are necessity and priority. YOU are love, life and universe. Thanku for completing us (red heart and folded hands emojis)."

After she gave birth to her daughter, Neha spoke with the Times of India about her last few weeks of the pregnancy. She said, "My BP became a concern soon after I got pregnant, and it went erratic in the fifth month. Our doctor had prepared us for it in advance. Complications were expected but fortunately, everything went about fine. I am glad the phase is over, and I have been blessed with a beautiful daughter. Both of us are doing fine."

Ayushman and Neha were wed in an arranged marriage in February 2012. She last appeared in the TV series Kyun Rishton Mein Katti Batti. Neha also shared that her sister-in-law will be naming her daughter and they were hoping to choose something from the first letter in the alphabet, 'A'.
