The doting mommy, Shilpa Shetty Kundra had shared a glimpse of her daughter's little hand on her Instagram handle and had curated a post revealing the meaning of her baby's name. She had revealed that "Sa" in Sanskrit is "to have", and "Misha" in Russian stands for "someone like God". Hence, her little girl, Samisha's name personifies goddess Laxmi.

The doting mommy wrote in the caption, "The 2 parts of our hearts. Viaan-Raj & Samisha celebrating their first Bhai Dooj. Hearts full of gratitude because my little boy's dream for a li’l sister has come true. His happiness today is so evident in his radiant smile.

On Neha Dhupia's show, No Filter Neha, Shilpa Shetty Kundra had opened up on embracing motherhood for the second time. The actress had said, "I think yoga has made a big difference to what I used to be 10 years ago. I remember I did have a few meltdowns after Viaan because when you're this first time mom, it's very daunting and it just hits you. So it was difficult the first time around but now I feel it's like a cakewalk. #Guts to me, I am 45 and I've had another child. I'll be 50 and my child is 5."

Talking about people's reaction when Shilpa had shared her baby arrival announcement, the actress had said that she doesn't pay much attention to them. Shilpa was quoted as saying, "I don't care to pay too much attention for other people's opinions and judgments on me because it's really not their place. I am doing my best as a mother. However people perceive me to be, I really want to bring my child up the way my parents brought us up. The only difference is obviously we were brought up in a smaller home with a lot lesser in terms of facilities but the same amount of love, if not more."
