Salman Khan’s sister Arpita Khan has given birth to her second child, a baby girl. The newborn shares a birthday – 27 December – with her superstar uncle. Aayush Sharma took to Instagram to share the news and revealed she has been named Ayat. The couple also have a three-year-old son Ahil.
Salman took to Twitter to welcome his niece writing, “Welcome to this beautiful world Ayat. Thank u Arpita n Ayush for the best birthday gift for the whole family. May everyone who reads this bless her n may she grow up n make everyone proud. Thank u for all the love n respect. You all have been very kind, thank u thank u thank u! (sic)”
Arpita was spotted at Salman’s birthday party on 26 December and reportedly was admitted to a hospital in Khar, Mumbai on Thursday night. Her family, including actor actor Helen, was spotted outside.

The proud parents released a statement that read: “With great joy and immense pleasure, we announce that we have been blessed with a baby girl.
