What does Ishita Dutta and Vatsal Sheth's baby girl's name, ‘Veda,' truly mean?
New parents
Ishita Dutta
and
Vatsal Sheth
recently shared a beautiful chapter in their lives—the arrival of their second child, a baby girl born in early June. But the meaningful name they chose for her truly captured everyone's heart.
They zeroed in on the name: Veda. Let's explore what 'Veda' means:
The Meaning Behind 'Veda'
The name Veda, derived from ancient Sanskrit, holds profound significance. It means 'knowledge' or 'wisdom' and is rooted in the word Veda, which also refers to the sacred Hindu scriptures—the Vedas.
A Naming Ceremony Full of Love and Tradition
To reveal her name, Ishita and Vatsal posted a heartwarming video from the naming ceremony, attended by close family. In the video, their baby girl is gently rocked in a traditional cloth cradle, surrounded by smiles, blessings, and love.
The moment her name is announced—'Holi joli peepal paan… ben ehh paadyu VEDA naam'—feels straight out of a cherished family memory, echoing warmth and rooted traditions. Adding a playful yet personal touch, balloons spelling out 'Veda' were displayed at the venue, creating a festive, intimate atmosphere that felt both celebratory and sacred.
A Complete Family
The couple, who tied the knot on 28 November 2017 in a close-knit ceremony in Mumbai, became parents for the first time in 2023 with the birth of their son, Vaayu.
Now with little Veda's arrival, Ishita had earlier shared, their family feels 'complete.' Fans first glimpsed the joy of her birth through a touching photo Ishita shared from the hospital—a moment where big brother Vaayu gazed lovingly at his newborn sister.
The caption read, 'From two to four hearts beating as one. Our family is now complete. Blessed with a baby girl.'
Cherished by Fans and Friends Alike
While both actors have earned acclaim on-screen, it's these glimpses into their off-screen lives—their warmth, simplicity, and the beautiful bond they share as a family—that continue to win hearts. With Veda, a name steeped in timeless meaning, their journey as a family now turns an even more soulful page.

‘Khalid Ka Shivaji' Sparks Maha Row Over Historical Distortion; Wardha Footage Brings Vidarbha Into Frame
Nagpur: Atop a gentle hill in Girad village in Wardha district, surrounded by lush greenery and revered equally by Hindu and Muslim devotees, stands the Sheikh Farid Dargah. A site known for harmony was used as a prominent plot in the Raj More-directed Marathi film, 'Khalid Ka Shivaji', which has now triggered statewide controversy over an alleged historical distortion. The otherwise quiet village, 76km off Nagpur, has suddenly catapulted into the spotlight after the film slated for release on August 8, was selected for Cannes Film Festival. The movie features several key scenes, including a zilla parishad school along with the dargah and its scenic landscape. While the village itself is not the source of protest, the film has inadvertently pulled Girad into the narrative. The film follows a young Muslim boy whose worldview is transformed after reading about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj . However, right-wing groups have accused the filmmaker of twisting facts for communal appeasement. Protesters say the film falsely claims 35% of Shivaji's army was Muslim and even depicts a mosque on Raigad Fort, which they say amounts to historical misrepresentation. Protests erupted after two individuals interrupted CM Devendra Fadnavis's speech during the recent Maharashtra Marathi Film Awards in Mumbai and demanded a ban on the film. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's The Average Price of Gutter Protection For 2,500 Sq Ft House LeafFilter Gutter Protection Get Quote Undo According to a local gramsevak, a 30-member film crew arrived in Girad last year and conducted a five-day shoot at various spots around the dargah. The team secured proper permission from the sub-divisional officer (SDO) for filming. During the shoot, the crew reportedly stayed at Jamb, a village near Hinganghat, 25 km from the location. The film's visuals of the dargah, open fields, and school in the background now stand out in the trailer, which has gone viral amid heated political reactions. Amid mounting backlash, cultural affairs minister Ashish Shelar has taken a firm stand. Talking to TOI, Shelar said, "Distortion of history is absolutely unacceptable. We've written to the Union ministry of information and broadcasting to re-examine the film and reconsider the certificate issued by Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)." He also questioned how the film passed review and added that an investigation will be conducted into how it was selected for Cannes Film Festival, raising concerns about possible procedural lapses. According to platforms like News Bharati, which is 'loosely' linked to Sangh Parivar, the film falsely claims 35% of Shivaji Majaraj's army was Muslim, and erroneously depicts a mosque on Raigad Fort, which is an assault on the Maratha warrior's legacy.
