New Delhi: Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor and husband Anand Ahuja have welcomed their first child, a baby boy on Saturday. Meanwhile, a fashion magazine unveiled the cover of their September issue featuring Sonam Kapoor. Heavily pregnant ‘Saawariya’ actor is seen posing in an unbuttoned shirt. Ahead of the birth of her child, Sonam had shared her thoughts on becoming a parent.
Sonam was quoted saying, “Priorities do change and I think that the child will become mine. The truth of the matter is that they didn’t choose to come into this world. You decided to bring them here, so it’s a very selfish decision.”

Thank you to all of the doctors, nurses, friends and family who have supported us on this journey. It's only the beginning, but we know our lives are forever changed. Sonam and Anand.”
