Anshuman Jha reveals the due date of his first child

Much like their wedding in October 2022, Anshuman Jha and his wife had an intimate baby shower ceremony which was attended by their close friends and family. After the baby shower, the couple reportedly jetted off to New York for Christmas and New Year celebrations. Sharing photos from the ceremony, the actor shared that the baby will be born in America as Sierra's mother is there. Anshuman, who lost his parents in 2020, stressed the importance of having grandparents around during one's childhood.

He said: "Having your mom around is critical at this time - for the mother and the child. I wish my mom was around. And Sierra is blessed to have her mom and dad by her side."

Anshuman Jha shares that he has 'intentionally chosen not to find out' the baby's gender

While it is legal in America to know whether it's a boy or a girl - the couple has intentionally chosen to not find out. He shared that he wants nature to take its "course." He further added that they will be grateful for whatever God blesses us with. "We want to be surprised. Let nature take its course. The child is not coming from us, it is only coming through us and we will be grateful for whatever God blesses us with," shared Anshuman.

He added: "We are very grateful. It felt the closest to the feeling of seeing God - when you see a dot on screen in the first sonography - I felt like that's it - I see God, the soul, life in essence."

On the work front, he has begun training for 'Lakadbaggha 2. He will also star in Hari-Om, with Raghuvir Yadav. Anshuman will make his directorial debut Lord Curzon Ki Haveli, scheduled for release in 2024.
