Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja welcome second baby boy after Vayu: Revisiting their fairytale romance

Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja have entered a new chapter in their lives as they welcome their second child, a baby boy. The couple, already parents to Vayu, are now a family of four. As they celebrate this special moment, their journey from an unexpected first meeting to building a strong and lasting relationship continues to stand out as one of Bollywood’s most heartwarming love stories.

Sonam Kapoor recently shared joyful news with her fans as she welcomed her second child with Anand Ahuja. Taking to social media, she wrote, “With immense gratitude and hearts full of love, we are delighted to announce the arrival of our baby boy today, 29th of March 2026.” She further added that their son Vayu is excited, calling this phase a “beautiful new chapter” for their family of four.

Interestingly, Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja’s story didn’t begin as a typical love match. She had initially been introduced to Anand through a plan to meet his best friend. Recalling that moment, she shared with News18, “My friends were trying to set me up with Anand’s best friend. That’s how I met him.” What was meant to be a casual introduction slowly turned into something far more meaningful.

Their first real interaction happened during the promotions of ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. Sonam wasn’t particularly keen on attending the meeting and went along reluctantly. However, while the intended setup didn’t click, she found herself in an engaging conversation with Anand. What started as a random evening soon became the beginning of a strong connection neither of them had planned.

After that first meeting, Anand reached out to Sonam with a late-night Facebook message. She admitted she wasn’t impressed initially, but the conversation didn’t stop there. Over time, those chats turned into long conversations and regular calls. That one unexpected message eventually became the starting point of a relationship built on communication and understanding.

Before becoming a couple in the public eye, Sonam and Anand navigated a long-distance relationship. Their bond grew through constant communication until they decided to meet in London. She once described the meeting casually, mentioning they were both dressed simply, yet spent the entire day walking and talking. It was these simple moments that strengthened their connection.

What sets their relationship apart is the attention to small gestures. From personalised details like a custom mangalsutra to making time for each other despite distance, their bond thrives on consistency. Anand once said, “It’s hard to not be together… But we make it work. We always have a meal together over Skype.” Their story highlights how effort shapes lasting relationships.

The couple tied the knot in 2018 in Mumbai, in a wedding that drew widespread attention. They later welcomed their first child, Vayu, in 2022. Now, with the arrival of their second baby boy, their journey has come full circle into a growing family. From a chance meeting to building a life together, their story continues to evolve with love and companionship.
