I was extremely happy when Shahid confirmed what I was thinking! It’s a great feeling becoming a grandmother and very difficult to express in words. We are all feeling so thrilled, excited and yet emotional... It’s a happy time for us all,” Neelima told a leading daily.

Wondering if she wants a baby girl or a baby boy for Shahid and Mira, Neelima said, I just want the baby to be happy, healthy and fine... Whether it’s a boy or girl doesn’t matter.”
