Anita (40) and Rohit, who got married in 2013 in Goa, started thinking of going the family after they participated in the reality show, Nach Baliye. The actress conceived during the lockdown and the couple announced the news happily on their social media. Talking about late pregnancy, Anita told TOI, "The age-factor did play on my mind. Many people told me that it’s going to be tough, it overwhelms you. But once I conceived naturally, I realised that age is just a number. You need to be mentally and physically fit for everything to fall in place." (Photo: Instagram)

Announcing her pregnancy, Teejay wrote, "I always thought it would just be the four of us. Never imagined I'd be a #mother of three! :) Maybe a soul sees us from the other side and says, 'I want to be part of this family.' Maybe God tells that soul, 'I choose this family for you.' Maybe we have something to teach the new life.. maybe the new life has something to teach us? We don't have answers but there is some higher purpose, so we embrace these new changes. God knows what He is doing, and we trust in Him completely." (Photo: Instagram)
