Actor Sonam Kapoor on Saturday finally revealed the name of her second child. She took to Instagram to share the same.
Announcing the news with a family picture, Sonam described the birth of her son as a “divine pairing” with elder brother Vayu Kapoor Ahuja, “In the spirit of the divine force that has once again transformed our lives… With love and gratitude, we welcome Rudralokh Kapoor Ahuja."
Further explaining the reason behind the name, Sonam added, “In the Vedas, Rudra (रुद्र), from the root rud, "to roar," is the mightiest of the mighty. The one who eradicates suffering at its source, the divine force behind storms, breath, healing, and renewal. He is deeply connected to Vayu, the prana that moves through all beings. Our firstborn carries the name of Vishnu, the sustainer of life. With Rudra, a sacred continuity emerges. Breath and power. Preservation and transformation. One strengthening the other."
