It is raining birthdays in Bollywood! After Ranbir Kapoor’s birthday yesterday, it is exactly a year today, since Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu welcomed their first ‘dollop of sweetness’ on this earth. Yes, Inaaya Naumi Kemmu turns 1 today!
While netizens have been keeping a close scrutiny on mommy Soha and daddy Kunal’s social media account, shutterbugs finally clicked the baby princess looking like a doll in her first anniversary in this planet! In the following picture, you will spot Inaaya wearing a blue denim top with a flared, baby pink skirt, a super-cute hairband and purple shoes. Soha and Kunal were not spotted along with her.

Doesn’t she look adorable to another level? First-time parents, Soha and Kunal celebrated half-birthdays and 9-month birthdays of their darling daughter.

Soha, being a chillax mommy isn’t bothered about sharing pictures of Inaaya with her fans and followers. What she is bothered about is ‘buri nazar’. In an interview, she shared, “No, not all. She is a part of me. I realised it became a headline that I worry about her in terms of nazar and all. Obviously, we are protective about her. Every parent is. We do everything from Kaala dhaaga to kaala teeka even if we are not superstitious as it makes someone else happy, so there is no harm in it. I worry about the attention she receives but I am proud of her. I am happy to share my happiness with her with the world but it is unfair to the kids, be it Taimur Inaaya or any child to be exposed to too much attention from media. Childhood is innocence at the end of the day.”
About the values and ethics that she wants to inculcate in her daughter, she remarked, "I want Inaaya to be her own person. I would like her to have open communication with me. Things like integrity, trust, loyalty, being kind to others, are some of the things I would like to see in her." She further added, “It shouldn’t be that Inaaya remains only surrounded by love and positivity. She should also be a strong person, with the [sense of] security to withstand criticism... and also be able to laugh. I think having a sense of humour is very important.”
She also shared that she wants Inaaya to develop a tough skin and be able to withstand criticism. She stated, “I’d like to exhibit that kind of behaviour around Inaaya. I do want her to have a tough skin — I believe that in the world today, it’s important to have one, otherwise it can get to you. People are very direct and outspoken, and sometimes you hear things that can hurt us. I want her to be able to withstand that.” She was further quoted as saying, ‘’Also, one must learn to respect other people’s opinions. If somebody disagrees with you, it doesn’t mean you block them out or you remove yourself from the equation. Sometimes, it’s good to have a healthy debate. And then, of course, you can agree to disagree as well. And live and let live.’’
We wish the super-cute Inaaya Naumi Kemmu, a very happy first birthday!
