About Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja
Sonam first crossed paths with Anand in 2015 during the promotions of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. She had once shared that while her friends had initially hoped to set her up with one of Anand’s friends, she ended up connecting more with Anand instead. After texting each other for a couple of weeks, the two gradually grew close and developed feelings for one another. They eventually tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2018.
The couple welcomed their first child, son Vayu, in 2022. Sonam later announced her second pregnancy in November 2025 with a stylish social media post featuring her baby bump. Earlier this year, in February, Sonam and Anand hosted a star-studded baby shower at their Mumbai home.
