Saboor Ali, Ali Ansari welcome daughter

Actors Saboor Ali and Ali Ansari have been blessed with a daughter. Announcing the happy news on Instagram on Wednesday, Saboor wrote, "Our tiny miracle, our biggest blessing. The sight of the smallest of hands leaving the biggest of impact is unbelievable. Welcome Serena Ali to the world. The magic awaits you."

The heartfelt note was attached to a black-and-white carousel of Saboor in the hospital bed and Ali standing by her side as they held their little one up. The post also featured the newborn baby's tiny feet and hands enveloped in her parents' hands.

Peers and fans congratulated the couple on the arrival of their little girl. "Masha Allah, Masha Allah. Many, many congratulations! Wishing your little princess a lifetime of love and happiness," wrote Maya Ali, while Ali Rehman said, "Congratulations, guys! Wonderful news. May Allah fill your lives with joy." Meanwhile, Serena's star aunt - Sajal Ali - wrote, "Welcome to the world little princess! We love you more than words can say."

Fans, on the other hand, expressed pleasant surprise at the news. "What a big surprise to your fans! Masha Allah, congratulations! May Allah keep her safe and bring her good luck," a user wrote.

Fans' sentiments stem from the fact that Saboor and Ali made no official announcement of the pregnancy prior to the post, though a clip from the godh bharai ceremony did circulate on social media in January. Speculation heightened after Saboor posted photos from her birthday celebration.

The Fitrat actor, who now shares a star sign with her daughter, posted a carousel from her birthday bash earlier this month. "Don't ask what I wished for. Thank you for making the day so special and memorable for me, [Ali Ansari]," she wrote. Cutting cake with her husband, she posed in a polka dot dress, which had fans wondering if she was in maternity clothes.
