You could say the Yeh Hai Mohabbatein couple made parenthood look like a scene from a movie. They’ve had twin boys and let us know with a nod to the silver screen: ‘Mere Karan Arjun aa gaye.’ It was a post full of good feelings and a touch of nostalgia, and the well-wishes have been pouring in ever since.
Bollywood-style reveal has fans in a tizzy
They went with a joint post to make the official word, complete with a picture of the two and a caption that fit the mood. In a way that is both lighthearted and sincere – much like we’ve come to expect from them since we first saw them on our screens.
A double dose of joy
Vivek put it best: ‘The wait is finally over. The Boys are here and life already feels more beautiful than we ever imagined. Mere Karan Arjun aa gaye! Need all your love and blessings as Div and I begin this incredible new chapter of parenthood.’
And then there was the one-liner from the couple’s note: ‘We asked for happiness. God said, Take double. Blessed with twin baby boys.’ The sort of thing you have to forward to the family group chat right away.
Privacy first, then the big reveal
They made sure to be quiet about it up until now. Some time back, Divyanka let on she was with child for the first time with Vivek, and that they had been minding their own business for close to half a year.
‘We managed to hide it for six full months,’ she says. She didn’t even go out much. But once Vivek was at an event and some friends put two and two together, the rumour mill got to work. ‘That is where it started, and then you know how speculation travels,’ is how she sees it.
Why they kept it to themselves
Divyanka has no trouble with the details. ‘Vivek and I wanted the baby only now, we tried and it happened. We are blessed,’ she told us. The families are ‘ecstatic,’ of course. With the due date in mid-June, they were being very deliberate about not making a fuss.
Here is what you need to know from the couple’s side of the story:
– Twin boys, as per their post
– ‘Mere Karan Arjun aa gaye’ was the headline
– A six-month period of discretion
– Families are in high spirits
From the set to the real thing
It all started on a film set and has since grown into something else. The two crossed paths on Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and tied the knot in 2016. They have been careful to leave the private stuff off the table, but today they are sharing their most important news with us.
What it is for the fans
This is more than a standard celebrity update; in a way, it is a get-together with a fan base that has been with them for a while. We were all waiting to be told, and when they put out a call for some love and blessings, it is hard not to join in.
Going forward, they want to keep it as they have: with some space and a focus on what matters. For the time being, the story is a happy one. Divyanka and Vivek have become parents, in a way of speaking, and on their own terms.
