Rahul Vaidya opens up on becoming a father.
Disha Parmar and Rahul Vaidya recently welcomed a baby girl.
Rahul Vaidya and Disha Parmar became proud parents to a baby girl on Wednesday, September 20. Expressing his excitement, the singer revealed that he cannot contain his excitement on becoming a father and hasn’t stopped crying ever since he saw his baby girl.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Rahul shared, “This whole feeling is just unexplainable. I am on top of the world,” and added, “The baby was born in the most auspicious time. Ganesh ji ke saath Laxmi aayi hai hamare ghar. Both Disha (Parmar; wife) and our newborn daughter are doing fine; they’re happy and hearty.”
When asked how did it feel to hold his daughter for the first in his arm, he called it ‘extremely emotional’ and shared, “I was happily numb for three to four hours. Mujhe samajh hi nahi aa raha tha ho kya raha hai. I have cried five to six times since she was born. Whenever I see her, I get teary eyed. I’m still choking while talking; I feel so overwhelmed. It’s like you know it (delivery) will happen soon, but when it actually happens, it’s just a different feeling.”
Rahul also shared that he is still in disbelief that he has become a father. “I don’t believe the fact that I have a daughter now, and that I’m a father. When I was signing the form and doing formalities in the hospital, and wherever it said, ‘father’s name’, in that moment it hit me that it’s finally happening to me,” says Vaidya, revealing that singer Sonu Nigam was among the first people to call him to congratulate. ‘He called and said, ‘Humara bachha baap ban gaya!’ Just to get blessings from your seniors and others is a great feeling.”
When asked if they have decided on the baby’s name, the singer shared that they have shortlisted a few names “but woh hum raashi ki hisaab se rakhenge, so let it be a surprise for now”.
Rahul also shared that his wife Disha and baby daughter will be discharged from the hospital on his birthday. “It will be the most memorable birthday for me this year, because Disha and my baby will get discharged from the hospital on the same day. So, I’ll welcome my baby home on my birthday.”
On a closing note, Rahul shared, “Right from conceiving to the delivery, all of it happened naturally. Till day before, we were going to different people’s houses for Ganpati darshan, and suddenly Disha’s labour started at night, and doctors asked her to get admitted to the hospital. Next day, our baby was born right in front of me. Disha was earlier due to deliver in October, but I somehow had this very strong feeling that the baby will arrive during Ganesh Chaturthi. So, yes, I manifested this.”
