5 Tollywood actors who became proud parents to their little munchkins in 2018

Experiencing the joy of parenthood is the ultimate moment of happiness and satisfaction to every couple, be it a celebrity or a normal person. The memorable feeling gives the duo a sense of pride, responsibility, completeness and fulfilment, all at once. While it takes quite some time for few couples to undergo this magical phase, many of them experience the moment just one or two years into marriage.

2018 has certainly been a fruitful year for Telugu cinema with many path-breaking films hitting the bulls-eye at the box-office. For some actors, the year proved to be even more special as they welcomed a new member into their family. While stars like Junior NTR & Gopichand became proud parents for the second time, ‘Takkari Donga’ fame Lisa Ray became a mother to twin babies at 46 through surrogacy.

Here are 5 Tollywood actors became proud parents to their little munchkins in 2018
