The lead actor of Star Plus long-running daily soap Yeh Hain Mohabbatein, Karan Patel has become a father. Karan Patel and his actor spouse Ankita Bhargav welcomed a baby girl on Saturday.
As per a report in India Today, Karan said he was elated about his daughter's arrival. "I am numb and overjoyed, and a little intimidated. The only soul who has given me such emotions all at one go," he said. "Ankita is doing well and our families would like to thank each and everyone who have loved us and continue to bless us," Karan included.
In June a year ago, the actor's representatives had confirmed that Ankita had suffered a miscarriage. "It is a tough time for them and coming to terms with it will take a few days." The representative had additionally asked fans to give the couple some time and privacy.

I can't go through the emotions and transformations, which Ankita is going through. It's a beautiful phase for her as she will graduate from a wife to a mother. I plan to spoil our baby silly with love and pampering once he/she is born. We would like to have two kids – both Ankita and I are the only children of our parents and we understand the need for a sibling," he said.
