Kratika Sengar, who was last seen in Choti Sarrdaarni, and her actor husband Nikitin Dheer have been blessed with a baby girl. The couple welcomed their first child this morning (May 12, Thursday).
The couple's recent maternity photoshoots made their joy evident. The two were looking forward to the new phase.

Kratika and Nikitin first broke the news exclusively to TOI(Times of India) in November. Kratika had said, "Nikitin is on a cloud and I don't even know the number! He is very excited to become a father and I feel extremely blessed and grateful that I will become a mother soon."

This is their first child after seven years of being married.

In fact, speaking to ETimes TV, Kratika recalled Nikitin and her first reaction to pregnancy.

She said, "I did a home test because the symptoms were similar to pregnancy. The moment it showed positive, I just sat in the bathroom. I didn’t share the news with anyone for the next four hours. I was so lost because though I had prepared myself, I was not expecting it to happen so early. Nikitin was in another room. I kept going inside the room and coming out. He saw me doing that and asked, 'Why can’t you just sit? Why are you going in and out?' Then I told him 'I am pregnant' and he started laughing. He told me I should have found a better time to play a prank. I showed him the test and he started screaming with joy. I asked him to not scream because I wanted to give our parents a surprise. When we told the family, they got emotional and were happy at the same time."

For their newborn, Kratika along with her mother-in-law made a few changes to welcome their newborn. Kratika recently told BT, "Just like all expecting parents we too have made a nursery for our baby."

Nikitin added, "My mother and Kratika have done a cool job at doing up the baby’s room. I would say that my child is really lucky kyunki hamare time mein toh yeh sahooliyatein nahi thi (smiles)."
