In the photos, the couple twinned in white shirts, blue jeans, and baseball caps labeled “Mom” and “Dad.” One of the most touching images shows Karishma holding a tiny pair of woollen baby socks while hugging Varun. The shoot also featured their pet dogs and several candid moments of the actress lovingly cradling her baby bump.
Warm Wishes From Celebrities
Soon after the announcement, the couple received an outpouring of love from friends and colleagues in the entertainment industry.
Actress Khushi Kapoor reacted with multiple white hearts, while Bhumi Pednekar commented “Awwwwww.” Actress and environmental activist Dia Mirza wrote, “Oh yay! Congratulations.”
Other celebrities such as Anusha Dandekar, Amrita Arora, Bipasha Basu, Kritika Kamra, Jasmin Bhasin, Maniesh Paul and Drashti Dhami also sent congratulatory messages.
Fans Celebrate the News
Fans quickly flooded the comment section with excitement and emotional messages, calling it the “best news” and wishing the couple happiness. Many social media users praised Karishma, who is 42, for redefining traditional motherhood timelines and choosing motherhood on her own terms. Her radiant look in the photos also drew admiration, with fans describing the couple’s chemistry as “beautiful” and “heartwarming.”
Their Love Story
Karishma Tanna and Varun Bangera’s relationship began away from the spotlight. The couple first met at a common friend’s party on New Year’s Eve, where Karishma later revealed that they initially noticed each other because both were tall.
Their relationship grew stronger over time, leading to a romantic proposal in Dubai. Varun reportedly planned an elaborate surprise during a trip that included flowers, a diamond ring, and a banner while they were enjoying an adventurous paragliding or skydiving experience.
The couple eventually tied the knot on February 5, 2022, in an intimate beachside ceremony at Taj Lands End in Mumbai. Their wedding celebrations beautifully blended Gujarati and South Indian (Mangalorean) traditions, reflecting their cultural backgrounds.
A New Chapter
With the baby expected in August 2026, Karishma and Varun are now preparing to embrace parenthood. The announcement has sparked widespread joy among fans and the entertainment fraternity, marking a new and exciting chapter in the couple’s life.
