It’s a baby girl for Ashwin Kakumanu

It was double delight for Ashwin Kakumanu on his birthday on July 5. The

Mankatha

actor and his wife

Sonali Manavalan

were blessed with a baby girl on the same day and the happy dad could not have asked for more.

Ashwin posted on his social media handle, "Well, what do I say? Life changed in an instant last night. My little baecub was due next week and decided 'Hell no, I'm going to come on papa's birthday and just make that day my own, hold my bottle pa!'

Avira Ruby Kakumanu

entered this world on July 5th, 2019 and for the rest of my life till I make my way out will cherish this day for being extra special and celebrate our birthdays together! All the cliches are true, a switch goes off in your heart and your eyes start tearing up when you hold your baby for the first time. It's magical! Thank you @son_emk for carrying this little bun, and bearing all the pain to deliver her safely. I hope we can guide & shepherd her through what life has to offer and come out as better people and hopefully make her world a little better than she found it.”

Ashwin married his longtime girlfriend Sonali Manavalan in 2016. On the work front, in addition to films, he is also busy acting in web series.
