The singer had also expressed his wish to have a daughter in January.

“I would love to have a daughter because fathers are closest to their daughters," he told ETimes in an interview. His parents, veteran singer Udit Narayan and Deepa Narayan Jha, are equally excited about the baby. “My father and mother are both excited that they will become grandparents soon, but my father (singer Udit Narayan) is a little shy like me when it comes to expressing himself."

Aditya Narayan dated Shweta for 10 years before they tied the knot in December 2020. Aditya and Shweta met on the sets of their film Shaapit over a decade ago and hit it off instantly. His father Udit Narayan had said that he didn’t know that Aditya and Shweta were romantically involved until Aditya told him about his intention of marrying her.
