The announcement post, accompanied by a soft, serene image of the child, carried an emotional caption written in Sanskrit-inspired prose: “Jalasya rūpam, premāsya svarūpamtatra eva Neer. Our hearts found peace in an eternal drop of life. We named him Neer — pure, divine, limitless.” The post quickly went viral, drawing messages of love and congratulations from colleagues and fans.

Actors Gauahar Khan and Bharti Singh were among the first to respond, sending blessings in the comments. Fans praised the poetic name and the couple’s thoughtful introduction of their son to the world.

The reveal coincided with another high-profile baby introduction in Bollywood. Actor-producer Arbaaz Khan and wife Sshura Khan also unveiled the first photo of their daughter, Sipaara Khan, making it a celebratory day for fans of both families.

Chopra and Chadha, who married in 2023, have frequently spoken about their bond that developed long before their engagement. The two first met as students in London — Chopra at Manchester Business School and Chadha at the London School of Economics. They reconnected years later during the filming of Chamkila in Punjab in 2022, a meeting Chopra has described as the beginning of their relationship.

With the birth of Neer, the couple begins a new chapter that has been warmly welcomed by admirers and the film fraternity alike.
