Bollywood actor and filmmaker Arbaaz Khan has officially confirmed that he and his wife, makeup artist Sshura Khan, are expecting their first child together! The 57-year-old actor, who tied the knot with Sshura in December 2023, shared the joyous news, confirming widespread speculation that had circulated earlier this year. This marks a new chapter for Arbaaz, as he prepares to embrace fatherhood again.
Arbaaz Khan Confirms Sshura Khan’s Pregnancy
In an exclusive interview with Bombay Times, Arbaaz Khan for the first time publicly confirmed Sshura Khan’s pregnancy. “When asked directly about Sshura’s pregnancy, Arbaaz confirmed, “Yes, it is there. I’m not denying that information because it’s now public knowledge, my family knows, and people have found out. It’s fine; it’s quite evident.”
He further expressed the couple’s excitement, adding, “It’s a very exciting time in both our lives. We are happy and excited. We’re going to welcome this new life in our life.” This confirmation brings an end to months of speculation that began when the couple were spotted at maternity clinics earlier this year, though they had previously refrained from addressing the rumours.
A New Chapter for Arbaaz Khaan and Sshura Khan
Arbaaz Khan and Sshura Khan surprised many when they exchanged vows in an intimate Nikkah ceremony in December 2023. The wedding, attended by close family and friends, including Arbaaz’s elder brother Salman Khan and his son Arhaan, marked a new beginning for the couple. Sshura, a renowned makeup artist in the industry, had previously worked with Arbaaz on his film “Patna Shukla.” Their love story blossomed quietly, leading to their decision to marry. Now, less than a year into their marriage, they are preparing to welcome their first child, adding another layer of joy to their union.
Arbaaz Khan’s Journey to Fatherhood Again
Arbaaz Khan previously married Malaika Arora, and together they have a son, Arhaan Khan. Arhaan, who is an adult, will soon make his Bollywood debut, indicating a new generation of Khans entering the industry. Arbaaz and Malaika divorced in 2017 after 19 years of marriage, but they have maintained an amicable relationship and continue to co-parent Arhaan, setting an example for modern co-parenting dynamics in Bollywood.
Speculation Culminates in Joyous Confirmation
Reports of Sshura Khan’s pregnancy first surfaced when paparazzi photographed the couple at various maternity clinics in Mumbai. Despite the visual evidence, the couple chose to keep the news private, neither confirming nor denying the speculations that ran rampant across media outlets and social media. Their decision to confirm the news now through a formal interview highlights their comfort in sharing this personal milestone with their fans and the public. The “pretty evident” nature of the pregnancy, as Arbaaz himself put it, had already generated significant buzz.
New Beginnings for Arbaaz Khan at 57
With his professional projects ongoing and personal life blooming, Arbaaz Khan is embracing new beginnings with enthusiasm and optimism. Becoming a father again at 57 might come as a surprise to some, but for Arbaaz and Sshura, it’s a moment of joy and renewal.
As the couple prepares for the arrival of their baby, they have requested privacy and blessings from well-wishers during this special time. The year 2025 seems to hold much happiness for the Khan family, with both generations writing new stories—one on the big screen, and another in the cradle of love.
