Divyanka Tripathi offered fans their first glimpse of her newborn twin sons on June 12, 2026, posting photographs of herself holding and kissing the two boys side by side. The actress, who spent years waiting to become a mother, accompanied the images with a simple caption directed at her children: “Thanks for choosing me.”
The twin boys were born to Divyanka and her husband Vivek Dahiya in May 2026, nearly a decade after the couple married in July 2016. Their pregnancy announcement earlier in the year was met with widespread celebration among their fans. For the couple, the arrival of the boys marked a deeply personal chapter in their life together, one they had anticipated and hoped for through much of their marriage.
Vivek chose to reveal the boys’ names through a post that has since become one of the most shared celebrity parenting moments of the year. “Mere Karan Arjun aa gaye,” he wrote, invoking the iconic 1995 Bollywood film in which Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan played brothers named Karan and Arjun. The phrase carries immediate resonance for an entire generation of Indian audiences, and its use as a father’s first announcement for his sons carried both humour and deep emotion.
Vivek’s fuller announcement read: “The wait is finally over. The Boys are here, and life already feels more beautiful than we ever imagined.” He has been documenting the family’s journey through a series of vlogs on his YouTube channel, sharing the homecoming and the couple’s adjustment to life with two newborns with their devoted following.
In her own post, Divyanka chose to speak directly to her sons. “Thanks for choosing me” is a phrase that requires no interpretation for anyone who has longed for parenthood. After years of waiting, the message reflects the quiet gratitude that accompanies the arrival of children whose presence feels not just joyful but deeply meant to be.
The couple welcomed their sons home with decorations of blue and white balloons, surrounded by family members. Vivek, in characteristic form, found humour even in the most emotional moments, joking during the grand welcome that a family member was attempting to carry one of the newborns away, a comment that left Divyanka laughing even as she navigated the tender blur of those first hours at home.
Divyanka Tripathi is best known to Indian television audiences as Ishita Bhalla in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, the Star Plus drama she anchored from 2013 to 2019. The role earned her recognition across the country and multiple acting awards. In the years since, she has continued to take on television and digital projects while building a devoted social media presence that has made her one of the more prominent voices in Indian celebrity culture.
Vivek Dahiya, who has appeared in television serials including Woh Apna Sa and Divya Drishti, has in recent years built a YouTube channel where he and Divyanka share aspects of their life together. The channel now documents the couple’s first weeks as parents and has drawn an outpouring of warmth from fans who have followed their relationship since the years of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein.
The arrival of Karan and Arjun has been one of Indian television’s warmest stories of the year. Fans who have watched Divyanka Tripathi on screen for over a decade responded to the first photos with an outpouring of affection and blessings. The boys, named for two of Hindi cinema’s most beloved brothers, carry with them a weight of love that stretches well beyond their parents.
