Actor Kinshuk Vaidya, widely recognised for his role in the popular show Shaka Laka Boom Boom, has welcomed a baby boy with his wife Diiksha Nagpal. The couple shared the happy news with fans through a heartfelt post on social media.

Taking to Instagram on March 9, Kinshuk revealed the arrival of their newborn with a sweet announcement. The post featured a poster showing the new parents holding their baby’s tiny hand. The image carried the message, "It's a baby boy! 08.03.2026."

Sharing the joyful moment with followers, the actor wrote in the caption, "With immense love n gratitude we welcome our Baby Boy. Baby Vaidya has arrived. 08.03.26."

Soon after the post went live, celebrity friends, colleagues and fans filled the comment section with congratulatory messages and warm wishes for the new parents and their little one.

Kinshuk and Diiksha had first announced that they were expecting a baby in December last year. At the time, the couple shared an adorable monochrome photograph in which they were seen holding a tiny pair of baby shoes while their hands were intertwined.

The caption read, "Stepping into a new phase of life… Our love story just got much more sweeter…"

The couple’s journey together began with their engagement in August 2024. They later tied the knot on November 22, 2024, in an intimate ceremony held in Alibag. The wedding was attended by close family members and friends.

For the special occasion, Kinshuk looked elegant in a cream and red sherwani, while Diiksha embraced a traditional Maharashtrian bridal look.

Kinshuk Vaidya has been a familiar face across films, television and web series. He began his career as a child actor and appeared in several Marathi and Hindi films early on.

However, his biggest breakthrough came with the show Shaka Laka Boom Boom, where he played the beloved character Sanju — a young boy who owns a magical pencil capable of turning any drawing into reality. The role quickly made him a household name among television audiences.
