Anusha Dandekar, the popular VJ, actress, and model, surprised her fans in June 2022 when she shared a series of adorable photos with a baby girl named Sahara. The images, filled with love and playful moments, quickly went viral, with many fans and celebrities congratulating Dandekar on becoming a mother. However, Dandekar later clarified that she is not Sahara's mother but her godmother.

In an Instagram post, Dandekar introduced Sahara as "this Angel of mine… the ultimate love of my life". She expressed her love and commitment to Sahara, stating, "Monster and Gangsta and I are going to look after you, spoil you and protect you forever and always! I Love you baby girl, your GOD Mummy!". This sparked speculation among her followers, with many wondering if she had adopted the child.

To clear up the confusion, Dandekar posted an Instagram story explaining that Sahara is her goddaughter. She also introduced Sahara's mother, Zoha, who is Dandekar's best friend, and grandmother. Dandekar emphasized the significance of being a godmother, stating that it means she vows to look after Sahara whenever her best friend or Sahara needs her, throughout Sahara's life.

The role of a godparent is a special one, signifying a lifelong commitment to a child's well-being and spiritual growth. Godparents are chosen by the parents to act as mentors and guides, offering support, love, and encouragement as the child navigates life's journey. They often play a significant role in the child's religious upbringing, if applicable, and serve as positive role models.

Dandekar's fans and fellow celebrities showered her with love and support upon learning about her role as a godmother. Actress Karishma Tanna congratulated her, while Kubbra Sait exclaimed, "Wow! Nush Congratulations Mummy". Dandekar's sister, Shibani Dandekar, jokingly commented, "stop stealing peoples children and taking pictures… she cut tho much love to the little one".

This isn't the first time Anusha Dandekar has embraced the role of a godmother. She is also a godmother to Kirana, the daughter of TV actors Karanvir Bohra and Teejay Sidhu. Dandekar has often spoken about her love for children and her desire to be a positive influence in their lives. Being a godmother allows her to fulfill this desire, providing guidance and support to the children as they grow.
