Pakistan’s very own grungy rockstar Ali Azmat and his wife television producer Fariha Khan have been blessed with a baby girl.
Late on Thusrday night, the couple welcomed their daughter who has been named Ella, which means torch or bright light.
The singer tweeted, “Ella is here” late on Thursday night. He married his long-time girlfriend in September last year. The news of his wedding came as a surprise to his fans who had presumed that the rockstar would never settle for something as serious as a full-time commitment. The rumours that Azmat vowed to stay a bachelor all his life, told female fans to keep no hopes.
But Azmat surprised us all when he finally tied the knot! The “Garaj Baras” singer is known for his sardonic wit and his politically charged comments and recently was seen tweeting for the release of Rimsha Masih. “Free Rimsha you dimwits,” the singer had posted last week, regarding a Christian girl who was jailed after being accused of blasphemy. Azmat’s friend, singer-cum-actor Ali Zafar congratulated Azmat on Twitter. “Beautiful name. Wonderful news. May the family have the most fantastic life ever” to which Azmat replied, “Thanks bro, it’s a brand new feeling altogether.” Congratulations to the couple!

Congrats Ali Azmat and family !!! In my POV, origin of the name is not of any concern; all that matters is that it should have a good meaning. So I don't see any un-Islamic thing in it.
Congrats To Ali & family for the baby daughter You deserve this Ali you come across as a brave man,... Respect from India
Congrats- good man

I'd like have a swinger's party with the couple.
All those people who are saying Ella is not an Islamic name, mind your own business! She's his daughter, not yours. He can name his children whatever he wants, he doesnt need approval from you guys! The same goes to the person above who said something about their body language, they were in love and got married, what's it to you?!
May Allah bless the baby and family.
@Its (still) the EconomyStupid:
Dont try to be sigmud freud....
Its their baby they can name her whatever they like. Who are you all to act as religious police?
Grants :)
@hamza khan: Well I have no problem in naming any Child with Western name as there is no compulsion in Religion to name your child in Arabic or Persian as you will find many with different names as good as any other.
The problem here i am pointing is that Mr Ali Azmat is like our Hypocrite Right wingers who love to drive BMWs, Land Cruisers and Mercedez Benz along with Iphones in their side pockets next to their fat bellies mislead the public to boycott the West but in actual they are the ones following them the most. Same is with Ali Azmat that he is preaching something else and doing something else and he cannot walk the talk.
as they aren't interested in asking for everyones unnecessary advice... either congratulate them or go away! Congrats to the parents, may your baby be happy, healthy, wealthy and wise.
@hamza khan: Because this is their daughter, not your's
I like the name. Kindly tell is Ella an Islamic name?
@Awans:
agreed...theres a million beautiful names in persian or arabic that have the exact same meaning..not sure why an english name was necessary here.
Congrats :)
GOOD NEWS! her name reminds me Ella baby food n Ella's kitchen
congrast Ali
hi, Congratulations to his baby girl Ella!
Age difference of 23 years clearly shows in the picture. Body language says a lot about there marriage.
My Russian friend have this name. Some days back I saw his program where he was urging everybody to follow their Eastern roots and different ideology than West but here comes the time of naming and he named his child with Germanic History.?? So much for the Confused Ideology followers.
Congrats to the couple.
Welcome to the world ! Hope she will prove as a bliss for you guys :)
is it wrong that this name reminds me of Rihanna's Umbrella - ella -ella -eh? o_O congrats to Mr and Mrs. Ali Azmat though!
Congratulations Uncle! :)
