Jeetendra over the moon after Ekta Kapoor turned mother; says grandson Ravie looks just like him

Ekta Kapoor introduced her new baby boy Ravie Kapoor to the world and social media flooded her and the family with good wishes. Ravi is veteran actor Jeetendra’s original name and the television mogul Ekta named her son after her father in an ode to him.

Grandfather Jeetendra is said to be ecstatic with the new addition to the family. Talking to a tabloid recently Jeetendra said he feels his family is now complete. “I was a dada earlier. Now, I have become a nana. My life is complete,” he said. “Shobha (Kapoor, wife) and I were over the moon when we heard it first. We are looking forward to him coming home,” he added.

“My family says he (Ravie) looks just like me, but then, a child’s looks keep changing every day. It’s tough to say who he will resemble in the future. Now, I have Laksshya and Ravie — they are the apple of my eye. I can die peacefully now as both my babies have their own babies.” His son Tusshar also welcomed his son Laksshya in 2016 through a surrogate.

When asked about neither of their children opting to marry Jeetendra said, “I believe one must be happy in life. (It doesn’t matter) whether you are married or single. For me, the idea was that Tusshar and Ekta should have someone to come back home to. A baby is the biggest blessing and responsibility to have. With responsibility comes passion, love, happiness and a purpose in life. There cannot be a bigger responsibility than taking care of a baby.”

Ekta shared the news on social media on Thursday. “By God’s grace, I have seen many successes in my life, but nothing beats the feeling of this beautiful soul being added in my world.”

She further added, “I cannot even begin to express how happy my baby’s birth has made me. Everything in life doesn’t go the way you want it to but there are always solutions to those hiccups. I found mine and today I feel immensely blessed to become a parent. It is an emotional moment for me and my family and I can’t wait to begin this new journey of being a mother.”
