Actor Anshuman Jha is on cloud nine as he welcomed his baby girl, Tara, with his wife Sierra Winters on March 10. Talking to us exclusively from the US, the actor says, "The last 48. hours have been a blur; it was a long labour. It's a surreal experience, none like I've ever had before."

While it's legal in America, the 38-year-old and his better half opted against taking a sex determination test as they "wanted the baby's gender to be a surprise". His wife went into labour on Mahashivratri night (March 8), however, "the due date was March 14 (celebrated as Pi Day), so we had started calling our baby 'Pi'. I truly believe women are the smartest people on the planet. I'm grateful we had a daughter," shares the Lakadbaggha (2023) actor. As Sierra and her family are from the US, the couple decided to give birth to their first child with her parents close by. "I believe having grandparents can make a big difference. I lost my parents in 2020. Having an elderly presence in the first two to three months, who has experience raising children, is important. Sierra's mum had three kids, so it's nice to have family around," he wraps up.
Rishabh Suri is an Assistant Editor, film critic, and professional overthinker of plot points. He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters. He got into the profession when he had barely graduated from college and has been at HT ever since. At HT, Rishabh reviews films with a simple rule: skip the dense academic jargon and get straight to the point. Beyond reviews, as Assistant Editor, he helps navigate the broader circus of showbiz, tracking everything from OTT shifts to sudden box office panics. In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.
