Actress Shivaleeka Oberoi, best known for her roles in Khuda Haafiz and its sequel, recently shared glimpses from her traditional godh bharai ceremony on Instagram, celebrating her journey into motherhood alongside her husband, filmmaker Abhishek Pathak. The heartwarming video captured moments of joy, rituals and blessings as family members showered the couple with love.
Shivaleeka looked radiant in a purple-hued saree from Safetypins, complemented by statement jewellery gifted by her mother, while Abhishek looked dapper in a white kurta-pyjama paired with an off-white jacket. The couple stood before a board playfully asking, “Is it a boy or a girl?”, hinting at their excitement for the new chapter ahead.
In her caption, Shivaleeka described the ceremony as “surrounded by love, traditions, laughter and endless blessings,” expressing gratitude as she and Abhishek prepare for parenthood. The accompanying video featured them performing puja rituals and being showered with flowers by family members.
Fans and followers quickly flooded the comments with congratulations and blessings for the couple. Enthusiasts praised Shivaleeka’s glowing look and the heartfelt nature of the celebration, with one fan calling the moment “so adorable” and another saying it felt “just like a fairytale.”
Shivaleeka and Abhishek’s relationship began on the sets of Khuda Haafiz — she as the film’s female lead and he as its producer. The pair later dated, got engaged in 2022, and tied the knot in February 2023.
On December 19, 2025, they announced that they were expecting their first child, sharing a post featuring the pair with tiny baby shoes and the caption about their “sweetest verse”—a reference to the joy of welcoming new life. She captioned it as, "Our love story has found it’s sweetest verse- a tiny blessing is joining our universe."
