, joining them for an intimate ceremony to name their newborn daughter. The Bollywood star, a long-time friend of the family, chose the name Mira for the baby, Jwala revealed.
Explaining why she wanted Aamir to name their daughter, Jwala shared, 'Aamir personally took care of me for almost seven to eight months before I got pregnant.
He insisted I visit his doctor, and it was his conviction that everything would turn out positive.'
Talking about the significance of the name, Jwala said, 'Mira means unconditional love and peace in several languages. It felt so right for this child we waited for so long and prayed so hard for.
Having her is already the greatest gift, and as her mother, I feel proud to raise a daughter. We need more strong, independent women for the world to be a better place.'
Jwala's friendship with Aamir dates back over a decade, to her gold medal win at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. 'I've known Aamir since then. We lost touch for a while, but reconnected during one of his visits to Chennai,' she said, adding, 'My husband and I grew very close to him and his family, especially his mother and sisters, who took care of me before I conceived.

The couple, who welcomed a baby girl on April 22 through IVF, shared glimpses of the ceremony on Instagram on Sunday. As friends and family gathered to bless little Mira, emotions ran high for Jwala. 'IVF is an emotionally lonely journey, despite having people around. Aamir saw me go through it. I never got emotional during the process, so he was surprised to see me emotional at the ceremony — and I think that's why he also got emotional.

Did Teyana Taylor break her divorce deal? Judge fines singer $70K in Iman Shumpert lawsuit
Iman Shumpert recently won in court (Image via Getty Images) This week, the divorce drama between free agent Iman Shumpert and his ex-wife Teyana Taylor took a new turn. The NBA player won the lawsuit against the singer, who was fined $70,000 for breaking the conditions of her divorce decree from 2024. According to a report from Us Weekly, she was convicted in contempt of court and was forced to pay the large sum to her ex-husband. Teyana Taylor was also asked by the judge to cover Iman Shumpert's legal costs. The judge further rejected her request that the player cover her legal costs. Iman Shumpert wins $70K lawsuit against ex-wife Teyana Taylor over divorce decree violation The legal battle of Iman Shumpert vs. Teyana Taylor is still continuing. Even though it was agreed in the divorce settlement that neither of them would reveal a word about the verdict, the singer spoke about the divorce in an online video in March. The clip later went viral on social media. In her footage, she appeared to be referring to her ex-husband, as she was heard stating: 'I have the proof that you're paying people to post this stuff.' According to Vibe magazine, she said in the video that she had proof that the NBA player had supposedly given the media access to the specifics of their divorce. In its most recent ruling, the court ruled that the singer was unable to provide evidence to support the statements she made in the video. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Shree TMT : The Steel You Can Trust Shree TMT Bars Learn More Undo The court document read: 'The court finds [Taylor] in violation of the Final Judgment and Decree of Divorce and is in willful contempt. It further read: 'It appears Taylor and her counsel failed to engage in even a minimal amount of diligence to determine whether her claim of contempt had any factual support at all before the petition was filed.' According to the court ruling, Teyana Taylor also declined to respond to enquiries from Iman Shumpert "about her assets and her income, further stating that such information was completely irrelevant to any issue."

‘I wasn't supposed to feel gareeb in India': Dubai vlogger left shocked after Rs 1,000 chai in Mumbai
A Dubai-based Indian travel vlogger has gone viral for something most NRIs can relate to — the shock of returning home and finding India anything but 'cheap.' Parikshit Balochi, a radio presenter and content creator, recently posted a candid Instagram video about how the cost of living back home has left him stunned. His witty yet exasperated rant, especially about a cup of tea that set him back Rs 1,000, has already crossed half a million his video, Balochi confessed that earning in dirhams always gave him the impression that India would be his playground for carefree spending. 'I am an NRI, I was not supposed to feel gareeb (poor) in India,' he said, sounding equal parts amused and frustrated. But instead of feeling wealthy, the inflated bills in Mumbai hotels and cafés have made him rethink the entire NRI privilege. Nothing captured his disbelief better than the price of a humble cup of tea. 'Rs 1,000 is what we used to put on the stock market when I left India. What is happening?' he explained that the unspoken 'deal' NRIs had with India was simple — come home, convert dirhams to rupees, and live like royalty. He said that converting dirhams into rupees was supposed to make him feel richer, not leave him shocked. Instead of showing off his wealth, he now jokes that he might actually need flexible payment plans just to survive the a mix of satire and genuine worry, Balochi ended his rant by pointing out how much money locals must be managing to spend daily. 'Yahan pe logon se puch raha hun, kitna paisa hai bhai tumhare paas,' he said, marvelling at how residents navigate this reality.
