Finally, on June 3, 2020, Sumeet Vyas and Ekta Kaul had welcomed their permanent junior roommate and had embraced parenthood for the first time with the arrival of a baby boy. Announcing the news of his baby boy’s arrival a day later, Sumeet had posted, “It’s a boy. Shall be called Ved. Mamma and Daddy are acting cliche...smothering the child every few minutes.” Soon, Sumeet and Ekta’s social media handles flooded with congratulatory messages from their friends and family.
In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Sumeet Vyas revealed why they have named their son, Ved. Narrating the story behind it, Sumeet said, “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, it makes sense.” Describing the emotions on becoming a father, Sumeet expressed his ‘unmatched feeling’, “You do all those clichéd things that you once laughed at. Humans are so predictable.” Revealing that it was a normal delivery, Sumeet continued, "We couldn’t trust a multi-facility hospital at a time like this. It was a normal delivery and both Ekta and Ved are doing fine.”
Due to the pandemic, Ekta Kaul’s family, who is in Jammu, and Sumeet’s clan, who are stuck at home, couldn’t visit the couple. But the newbie parents are planning to bring his parents to meet their grandchild even if only for an hour. Sumeet elaborated, “Once we return home, we’ll see if they can be brought over to meet the baby, even if only for an hour.” When asked why he had announced the baby’s arrival a day later, Sumeet retorted, “It had been a long day and we needed rest. I didn’t want too much buzzing around my baby.” (Also Read: Sara Ali Khan Posts A Throwback Childhood Picture Which Reminds Us Of Her Cousin Inaaya Naumi Kemmu)

In a few days, baby would be all set to come out and rule our worlds. I have to say that you guys handled your pregnancy so beautifully and courageously.
