Nakuul Mehta and his wife, Jankee Parekh, have welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Rumi, on August 15, 2025. The couple, who married on January 28, 2012, already have a son, Sufi, who was born in February 2021. The announcement was made via a heartwarming Instagram post featuring a series of photos, including one of Sufi holding his newborn sister.
Nakuul shared the news with his fans, expressing how complete their hearts now feel. The caption read, "She's here. Sufi finally has his Rumi. Our hearts are complete. 15th August 2025. Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it". The post quickly went viral, with an outpouring of love and congratulatory messages from friends, colleagues, and fans.
Many celebrities also chimed in to congratulate the couple. Mini Mathur called the moment "beautiful," praising the bond between Sufi and Rumi. Gauahar Khan wrote, "Awwwww god bless…so happy for your family," while Shriya Saran sent "lots and lots of love". Dia Mirza added, "So much love to all 4 of you," and Bharti Singh kept it short and sweet: "Congratulations on Rumi's arrival".
Nakuul has mentioned finding it difficult to concentrate on work after the birth of his daughter. He expressed immense gratitude that he and Jankee get to experience parenthood again. He also noted the special significance of Rumi's birthdate, coinciding with India's Independence Day and Janamashtami.
The couple announced their second pregnancy in June 2025, sharing photos of Sufi holding a drawing that included the newborn. The caption read, "The boy is ready for additional responsibility. So are we. We are accepting blessings, again".
Nakuul's choice of names for his children has drawn praise, with fans admiring the uniqueness and meaning behind Sufi and Rumi. One fan commented, "Your kids have the most beautiful names!". Nakuul's social media posts often highlight his poetic and reflective nature, which his fans have come to admire.
Nakuul gained fame from the show Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyara Pyara in 2012. He has since appeared in hit shows like Ishqbaaz, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2, Dil Bole Oberoi, and Crime Patrol. Most recently, he was seen in Bade Acche Lagte Hai 3 and also hosted Crime Patrol last year.
