Sumeet Vyas and Ekta Kaul have welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Ved, on 3 June in Mumbai.
The couple, who were married on 15 September 2018, decided against a multi-facility hospital for the delivery. The baby was born at the maternity hospital of Sumeet’s aunt during this lockdown period.
Vyas, who was last seen in Made In China (2019), announced his son’s birth and name on social media yesterday. He wrote: It’s a boy. Shall be called Ved. Mamma and Daddy are acting cliche... smothering the child every few minutes...”
In an interview with the daily Mumbai Mirror, Vyas explained why he wanted to name his son Ved, after the author of the Mahabharata. “Long ago, one of our relatives was having a child and we were discussing names, when Ved came up and stayed with me. I decided if I have a boy, I’ll name him Ved. Since we come from the line of Ved Vyas, it makes sense.”
