Television star Nakuul Mehta and singer-entrepreneur Jankee Parekh have embraced parenthood once again, this time welcoming a beautiful baby girl into their lives. Born on August 15, 2025—India’s Independence Day—their daughter has been lovingly named Rumi, a poetic pairing with her elder brother Sufi.
The couple announced the arrival of their second child in a heartfelt Instagram post, which quickly captured the hearts of fans and fellow celebrities alike. The post featured an adorable carousel of photos: a tender moment of Sufi cradling his newborn sister, Nakuul beaming at her from beside her cradle, and a touching selfie of the couple moments before Jankee delivered their little girl.
Accompanying the pictures was a caption as emotional as it was profound.“She’s here. Sufi finally has his Rumi. Our hearts are complete. 15th August 2025. Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it”
Social media was flooded with well-wishes from fans and industry friends. Celebrities like Dia Mirza, Bharti Singh, Drashti Dhami, Neeti Mohan, and Geeta Kapur shared congratulatory messages, while fans praised the couple for the thoughtfulness and meaning
Nakuul and Jankee’s love story began long before the limelight. After dating for nine years, they tied the knot on January 28, 2012. Their first child, Sufi, was born in February 2021, and the family has since captured hearts online with their candid, love-filled moments.
The couple announced their second pregnancy back in June 2025 with an endearing post showing Sufi holding a sketch of their growing family.
Professionally, Nakuul has consistently balanced a strong television presence with meaningful web content. He won hearts with roles in Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara, Ishqbaaaz, and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 3. He also hosted episodes of Crime Patrol, showcasing his versatility beyond fictional roles.
As he embarks on this next chapter in his personal life, fans are excited to see what’s next—both on-screen and off.
