The twins, Nix Shakhi and Autumn Tara, were born a minute apart. The Cloudnine Group of Hospitals’ spokesperson said Sharmila was still recovering and photos of her and the babies would be released shortly.
Sharmila gave birth to twins through a C-section delivery at the hospital’s Malleswaram branch at 9.21am on Sunday. Nix Shakhi weighed 2.16 kgs and Autumn Tara 2.14 kg.
Their obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr Sripada Vinekar said that both Sharmila and the babies were doing fine and that the mother was resting with her two bundles of joy, with her husband by her side.

“They are such a fantastic, humble couple. Even when they would come for check-ups, they would sit outside the cabin, quietly, waiting for their turn,” Dr Vinekar added.
The couple who has settled in Kodaikanal after their marriage in 2017, chose Bengaluru for their big moment. Said Dr Vinekar, “I don’t know why they chose Bengaluru. I was also a little surprised when they approached me. All I can say is that I am quite excited to be a part of their journey. The Sharmila that I got to see is different. I saw a softer side to her.”
