Stars take complete control over how they announce one of the biggest milestones in their lives, and it’s definitely the right way.Many celebrities now choose Instagram and other platforms to share news directly with fans.The approach allows them to express the moment in their own way, ignoring unnecessary rumors and media attention.In Bollywood, stars like Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Kiara Advani and Siddharth Malhotra have embraced the trend. South Indian celebrities have also increasingly chosen to announce pregnancies through their own social media accounts.

The twins were later known by their full names, Wir Rudronil n Sivan and Ulag Dywic n Sivan.The births briefly drew public attention after the Tamil Nadu government ordered an inquiry into whether surrogacy complied with the legal framework at the time, according to a report by India Today. Today, the couple regularly shares family moments and festive celebrations with their children on social media.

They said my dad is in motion, but this? Wait a minute! Is it too early? Or too late to announce? But I’m sure you guys will be happy! Me too, my parents are due for baby number two. Wait… does this mean I have to share who we are… who we have to share? Welcome – Ayra.”Looking at all these examples, one thing is clear: more celebrities are choosing to share some of life’s joyous moments on their own terms, rather than letting them become ‘exclusive breaking news’ to generate opinion.
