Kapil Sharma announced the news of Ginni’s pregnancy in an interview with Mumbai Mirror earlier this year. He said, “I just want to take care of my wife and be by her side for now. We are obviously very excited as it’s our first kid but my mother is the most excited. She has been waiting for this moment for years now. We are just praying for Ginni and the baby’s health.” Kapil added that it is a happy time for the family. “There is no prep because we don’t know if it would be a boy or girl. It’s a happy time for the family and everybody is looking forward to welcome the new member.” Meanwhile, Kapil Sharma is currently hosting television show The Kapil Sharma Show.
