In a wholesome Instagram carousel shared on Friday, Sajal Ali posed with her actor-sister Saboor Ali and the latter's baby, Serena. The actors sported chic casualwear as they hid the baby's face from the camera's view.
While showering the little one with the abundant love of a khala, the Yaqeen Ka Safar actor pointed out a key resemblance between the two. "She got my eyes!" Sajal wrote in the caption.
First-time parents Saboor and actor-husband Ali Ansari were blessed with a daughter in March. Announcing the happy news on Instagram, 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. Among them was Serena's star aunt, who 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 stemmed 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, wearing a polka dot dress, which had fans wondering if she was in maternity clothes.
