Actor Shreyas Talpade and wife Deepti have become parents to a baby girl via surrogacy. Interestingly, the couple was vacationing in Hong Kong when they got the news.
The child was to be born around 10-12 May, but the surrogate mother gave birth on 4 May.
“The scheduled day for the baby’s delivery was around 15th or 20th of this month. We had planned a small vacation to Hong Kong on the 7th. But the doctor suggested that the day of delivery might shift to around 10th or 12th. So we decided to go by the 2nd or 3rd and return by the 7th. After we landed in Hong Kong, we got ready, had our lunch and were heading to the cruise terminal since we had planned to go on a cruise. While we were on our way, we got a call from the doctor saying that the surrogate is gone into labour and that we would have to return. We immediately booked a flight on the same day and returned,” Talpade told Deccan Chronicle.
Shreyas and Deepti married in 2004. Interestingly, Shreyas had met Deepti when he went to her college as a celebrity.
"Our baby has already got both of us wrapped around her little fingers. She is a little stubborn and it feels like she is telling us - ‘Where are you going without me! Come back!’," added Shreyas. The actor was last seen in the film, Golmaal Again (2017).
