Exclusive! Iqbal Khan blessed with a baby girl, I am all set to don the duties of a new-age dad, says the actor

Iqbal Khan and his wife Sneha have become proud parents to a

baby

girl. The baby was born at a suburban nursing home, early morning on February 11. This is the couple's second child; they have a ten-year old daughter Ammaara. Iqbal and Sneha are calling their little bundle of joy, Ifza.

Iqbal said, "Sneha chose to call our baby Ifza - it means guardian angel. We are blessed. My elder one Ammaara always wanted a baby sister and she is very happy. Both Sneha and Ifza are doing good."

Iqbal's birthday falls on February 10 and Ifza was born on February 11. He says, "My daughter waited to be born on a day later, so that next year, we can have a two-day celebration! Jokes apart, I am all set to don the duties of a new-age dad, who changes nappies and wakes up in the middle of the night to sing lullabies to her. I used to do all of that even when Ammaara was born. When my first one came into this world, I changed as a person because I became a father for the first time. And now after Ifza, I again feel extreme gratitude that we are chosen by the Almighty to become the medium for giving love and care to another soul."

He further adds, "I want to give my kids all the love and teach them to do the right thing and understand the importance of being kind and compassionate souls. Both Sneha and I are glad and looking forward to our lives with Ammaara and Ifza."

Iqbal is currently seen in the
