Exciting news is buzzing around as reports suggest that Bollywood actor and filmmaker Farhan Akhtar prepares to embrace fatherhood once again. Fans are overjoyed and flooding him with congratulatory messages after learning that he and his wife, Shibani Dandekar, are expecting their first child together. According to media reports, Shibani is pregnant and is set to welcome their little bundle of joy later this year.

Today is doubly special for Farhan Akhtar as he celebrates his 51st birthday amid heartwarming news about his growing family.

While an official confirmation from the couple or their family is still awaited, sources suggest that Farhan and Shibani are gearing up to welcome their first child together. This happy news has further delighted fans, who are already flooding social media with birthday wishes and congratulations for the soon-to-be parents. As Farhan enters this exciting phase of life, it’s clear that 2025 is shaping up to be a year filled with love, celebration, and new beginnings for the actor and his family.

Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar tied the knot in 2022 in a private ceremony surrounded by close friends and family.

This will be Farhan’s third journey into fatherhood. He was previously married to Adhuna Bhabani, with whom he tied the knot in 2000 before parting ways in 2017. The former couple share two daughters, Shakya and Akira, whom Farhan adores and often celebrates through heartfelt social media posts. With this exciting development, Farhan is ready to embrace the joys of fatherhood once more.

For those who might not know, Shibani Dandekar has two meaningful tattoos dedicated to her husband, actor Farhan Akhtar. One is his name, "Farhan," beautifully etched on her neck, symbolizing their deep bond. The other tattoo commemorates their wedding date, inscribed in Roman numerals as "XXI-II-XXII," marking the day they tied the knot. These tattoos reflect the couple’s love story and Shibani’s affectionate tribute to their relationship, showcasing the special milestones they’ve shared together.
