Sonam Kapoor on Saturday introduced the world to her second child by finally revealing his name on social media. The actor shared the announcement through a heartfelt Instagram post featuring family photos.
Sharing the happy news, Sonam described the arrival of her newborn son as a meaningful spiritual connection with her eldest son, Vayu Kapoor Ahuja. “In the spirit of divine power that has once again changed our lives… with love and gratitude, we welcome Rudralokh Kapoor Ahuja,” she wrote.Explaining the significance of the name, Sonam also shared, “In the Vedas, Rudra (RUDR), from the root rud, ‘roar,’ is the most powerful of the powerful.
The one who eradicates suffering at its source, the divine force behind storms, breathing, healing and renewal. It is closely associated with Vayu, the prana that moves through all beings. Our firstborn bears the name of Vishnu, the preserver of life. With Rudra, sacred continuity appears.
Breathing and strength. Conservation and transformation. One strengthens the other.”She concluded her note by saying, “Like his name, may Rudra grow to be courageous, compassionate and deeply aware and powerful of strength and light. With gratitude for your love and blessings, Sonam, Anand, Vayu and Rudra.”
Soon after the post, congratulatory messages poured in from fans and members of the film industry. Bipasha Basu reacted to the heart eyes emoji along with the evil eye emoji, while Sophie Choudhary commented: “All the love and good wishes to you guys.” Kareena Kapoor also dropped heart emojis while Karan Johar commented that he loved the name. Sonam and Anand Ahuja married in 2018 and welcomed their first son, Vayu, in 2022. In recent years, Sonam has remained selective about her acting projects and has largely stayed away from frequent film appearances.
