In the Instagram post, Shoaib also expressed his excitement about entering the new phase (of being a father) of his life. He wrote, “This one as “papa to be” and Inshallah I will be entering a new phase of my life soon… can't wait myself…too many emotions too much excitement. Thank you so much everyone for your lovely wishes and blessings. I love you all.”
Now, take a look at this adorable picture of Shoaib Ibrahim hugging his wife Dipika Kakar's baby bump.
The couple announced their pregnancy in a joint post on Instagram, earlier this year on January 22. The photograph features the couple sitting with their back to the camera, in white ensembles and matching caps. While the text on Dipika's cap read, "Mom-To-Be," Shoaib's read, "Dad-To-Be."
Alongside the picture, they wrote, "Sharing this news with you all with our hearts full of Gratitude, Happiness, Excitement and Also nervousness. Humari life ka ye Sabse khoobsurat phase hai (It's the most beautiful phase of our lives)...Yessss, we are expecting our first child!! Going to Embrace Parenthood Soon. #alhamdulillah. Aapki dher saari duaon aur pyaar ki zaroorat hai for our little one (We need your blessings for our little one)."
