Shikha and Karan were blessed with a baby girl on June 16, 2020. In a conversation with the Bombay Times, Shikha announced the name, the newbie parents have decided for their little angel. Shikha revealed that they had decided the name of their baby when they were on their babymoon to the Maldives, “We are naming her Alayna Singh Shah. During our trip to Maldives in February, we had decided that if we have a daughter, this would be her name. This was the first name we both agreed upon, and after that, throughout the pregnancy, we called our baby, ‘Al’.”
When asked how she is feeling as a new mother, she shared that she is still waiting for the feeling to sink in. In her words, “The feeling is yet to sink in. I think the countless sleepless nights that we will face, will make me realise that I am a mom now! Shikha also talked about pregnancy under the COVID-19 situation, she shared, “Karan and I had taken all the precautions we could throughout our pregnancy. We wore masks constantly, sanitised ourselves and did all household chores. God has been kind as everything went smooth. The baby has arrived and we are both fine. The hospital is also taking very good care. They are meticulous and sanitising the area very well. But it is a different feeling to see everyone around in PPE kits. There are no visitors allowed. My husband Karan is staying with us and taking care of us." The actress also further revealed that she has been waiting for the moment her pooch meets her little princess. She said, “I can’t wait for my pet (Labrador) Goku to meet Alayna.”

In an interview with The Times of India, Shikha had opened up on embracing motherhood in the times of COVID-19. She had shared how she is managing it all in these strange times and had said, "When Karan and I were planning to go the family way, nobody thought that Corona would come upon us. I had informed the production house that I would be taking a break due to my pregnancy around April, and the production house also agreed to it, but now with COVID19, I have been on a break since March. My husband is a pilot and because of the lockdown, he is at home, otherwise, he would have been travelling. Currently, we are doing all the household chores by ourselves. My husband is a technology expert and has bought me a robot-like sweeping and mopping machine, which sweeps and cleans the floor completely on its own."

She had further shared, "I am cooking for the family and my pet. My mother and sister were going to join us from Haryana, but that won’t be possible now. We are near to the hospital and doctor’s clinic and they are giving us online classes on how to take care during pregnancy." Shikha also revealed that after her baby is born they will be on self-isolation for at least a year, and stated, "After the baby is born, it will be complete isolation for us, so it will be another few months before I can get back to work. With a baby around, I don’t think in these times I will be able to go out at all." (Recommended Read: Neil Nitin Mukesh Reveals His Parents Miss Meeting His Daughter, Nurvi Amidst The Pandemic)
