The Kapoor residence was the center of Bollywood glamour on Sunday, February 8, 2026, as Sonam Kapoor Ahuja hosted a lavish baby shower. Expecting her second child with husband Anand Ahuja, the actress was surrounded by family, close friends, and a few surprise political dignitaries for the intimate yet high-profile celebration.
A Star-Studded Guest List
The event saw a mix of Bollywood royalty and close family members, all dressed in their traditional best:
- The “Veere” Reunion: Kareena Kapoor Khan looked radiant in a blue ethnic outfit, while Bhumi Pednekar stunned in a white Chikankari suit.
- Family Pillars: Dad Anil Kapoor greeted the paparazzi in a blue floral kurta, alongside Arjun Kapoor, Anshula Kapoor, and Khushi Kapoor.
- Distinguished Guests: In a notable appearance, Rashmi Thackeray, wife of former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray, was seen arriving at the venue. Veteran actress Shabana Azmi and designer Masaba Gupta were also among the early arrivals.
The Journey to Baby No. 2
Sonam’s second pregnancy has been a topic of much excitement since her official announcement in late 2025:
- The Announcement: On November 20, 2025, Sonam broke the news on Instagram with a high-fashion tribute to Princess Diana, posing in an iconic fuchsia power suit.
- The Due Date: The actress confirmed that the newest addition to the family is expected in Spring 2026.
- Family Growth: Sonam and Anand, who married in May 2018, are already parents to their three-year-old son, Vayu, born in August 2022.
Focus on Motherhood
While Sonam has been a “hands-on mommy” to Vayu, she has gradually started returning to work, last appearing in the 2023 thriller Blind. However, she has often spoken candidly about the challenges of pregnancy, telling Vogue that “nobody tells you how hard it is; everybody tells you how wonderful it is.”
Currently, the couple is splitting their time between London, Delhi, and Mumbai as they prepare for the arrival of “double trouble” this spring.
