Kapil Sharma, Ginni Chatrath welcome baby boy

Mumbai: Popular comic-host Kapil Sharma and wife Ginni Chatrath on Monday welcomed their second child, a baby boy.

The host of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ said both Chatrath and the newborn were healthy and thanked his fans for their blessings.

“Congratulations brother! This is such a great news! God bless your family with good health, long life and abundance of love,” Deshmukh wrote.
