The lead actor of Star Plus’ long-running daily soap Yeh Hain Mohabbatein, Karan Patel has become a father. Patel and his actor wife Ankita Bhargav welcomed a daughter on Saturday.

Karan Patel and Ankita Bhargav have become proud parents to a daughter.

According to a report in India Today, Karan said he was elated about his daughter’s arrival. “I am numb and overjoyed, and a little intimidated. The only soul who has given me such emotions all at one go,” he said. “Ankita is doing well and our families would like to thank each and everyone who have loved us and continue to bless us,” Karan added.

In June last year, the actor’s representatives had confirmed that Ankita had suffered a miscarriage. “It is a tough time for them and coming to terms with it will take a few days.” The spokesperson had also urged fans to give the couple some time and privacy.

I can’t go through the emotions and transformations, which Ankita is going through. It’s a beautiful phase for her as she will graduate from a wife to a mother. I plan to spoil our baby silly with love and pampering once he/she is born. We would like to have two kids – both Ankita and I are the only children of our parents and we understand the need for a sibling,” he said.
