One of the most popular actor-couples Richa Chadha and Ali Faizal welcomed their first child, their daughter, last month. Bollywood actresses and celebrities rushed to meet the baby girl and congratulate the new parents. 

Celebs like Urmila Matondkar, Dia Mirza, Tanvi Azmi, and Shabana Azmi met the newborn and posted a wholesome picture on Instagram. The caption read, "An evening drenched in rain and love, with piping hot khaalas/maasik and sabudana wadas . I think the tea was too cold for @tanveazmi apologies! How lucky is this little girl to be blessed and touched by the most loving and the very best! How happy is Guddu Pandit! How pampered is the mom!

Talking about it Shabana revealed. “We are all part of a group called Dher Saara Pyaar. On that day, (actors) Sandhya Mridul, Konkona Sensharma and Vidya Balan were missing, as they weren’t in town. We wanted to have a baby shower for Richa, but that couldn’t happen. So, this was just a visit to see the child. This group is like a family. The joys that you get with family is what you get in this group.”

The actress also talked about the 'fiery' name her husband has suggested for the newborn. She said, “Javed suggested they named her Jwala Ali. When I asked him why, he said Richa herself is such a fire brand, her daughter should have an equivalent name. But they have given her a beautiful name already,” she shares, adding, “Ali is very supportive of Richa and quite besotted with his daughter. I don’t think he can see anything beyond her at the moment.”
