In fact, it was Raina who took this decision. We wanted it to be a simple thing that only the family was aware of for the first few months. I knew  I had to await a surprise on my birthday, but the letter Raina wrote to me on a large cake was something very unexpected.  I was so touched,” says an emotional Sachiin.

Raina beams, “I was so happy to see Sachiin happy. I wanted to convey my feelings that what he did for me matters always and I would be with him through thick and thin and this day would be always special for us. And  thought, the writing on the cake would be the best. I am so happy he loved it.”

Sachiin, who, on the news of the pregnancy, went ahead and purchased a 20,000 sq ft flat at a prestigious Worli complex on  the 50th and 51st ^th floor, is happy that once the baby is born, they would move to their new home It is a 6 bhk and I am sure, with a new entrant, we will enjoy more space.
