Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput became proud parents to a baby girl on Friday. Their daughter was born in Mumbai’s Hinduja Hospital and Mira got discharged on Sunday. Both mother and daughter are in good health and dad Shahid can’t be more hands-on!

Mira was admitted to the Hinduja Healthcare Surgical in Khar (West) on August 24 and delivered a baby girl on August 26. Shahid’s father Pankaj Kapur, Supriya Pathak and sister Sanah Kapoor were the first ones to visit the hospital.

The day Mira delivered their first child; Shahid was short of words and couldn’t express his happiness. The actor took Twitter and said, “She has arrived and words fall short to express our happiness. Thank you for all your wishes”.

Later the actor even thanked the doctor for delivering the best, “Thank you, Dr. Kiran Coelho, for delivering our little bundle of joy. You really are the best”. It is said that both mommy and baby are healthy and no wonder he brought them home so soon.

With a posse of media watching, Mira was seen walking ahead while Shahid followed with their bundle of joy protectively hidden from the cameras in a pink sheet. As it was raining, he was seen protecting his daughter with an umbrella as he carried her out. Shahid’s manager was seen trying to shield the baby’s face from the shutterbugs.
