A post shared by Sonam Kapoor Ahuja (@sonamkapoor)

Sharing their love and excitement for their growing family, she wrote a beautiful message in the caption. "Four hands. To raise you the very best we can. Two hearts. That will beat in unison with yours, every step of the way. One family, who will shower you with love and support. We can’t wait to welcome you,” read the caption. She concluded the post with the hashtags #everydayphenomenal, and #comingthisfall2022 (sic).

Fans and celebrities alike flocked to the comment section to congratulate the couple on their big news. Actor and cousin of Sonam, Kareena Kapoor Khan wrote, “Woohoo, so happy for you both. Can’t wait for the babies to play.” Actors Malaika Arora, Ranveer Singh, Sonakshi Sinha, Madhuri Dixit, Dia Mirza, Nargis Fakhri, singer Sherya Ghoshal amongst others also gave the couple their heartiest congratulations and lots of love to the duo.

The eldest daughter of Bollywood’s superstar Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor, Sonam tied the knot with Anand in an extravagant wedding in May 2018. Ever since her wedding, the Khoobsurat star had to refute pregnancy rumours multiple times. After the rumour mills started its cycle of pregnancy rumours last year in July, Sonam got creative with shutting the paparazzi down. She shared a boomerang video on Instagram where she was seen drinking a hot drink. She captioned the post, "Hot water bottle and ginger tea for the first day of my period..."

Sonam was last seen in the 2019 release The Zoya Factor. The actor starred alongside Dulquer Salmaan. She then had a cameo in Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap's AK vs AK, which was released on Netflix in 2020.
