It’s A Girl for Shivaleeka Oberoi and Drishyam 3 director Abhishek Pathak, couple shares emotional birth note

The stork has arrived for Shivaleeka Oberoi Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, and it has brought with it a deeply personal moment the couple chose to share with the world. In a joint Instagram post, the two announced the birth of their first child, a baby girl, marking a new chapter that moves beyond film sets and into something far more intimate.

The announcement, simple and heartfelt, quickly caught attention online. It was not just about the news, but the tone. The couple revealed that their daughter arrived on April 19, 2026, and described her as “our little goddess Laxmi,” framing the moment as both emotional and spiritual.

A note that said everything

Their caption read, “our little goddess Laxmi has arrived on an auspicious day. A blessing in its purest form.” Alongside it, an image carried a longer message that leaned into gratitude rather than spectacle. It spoke about how, in a single moment, their hearts found a new meaning, before signing off as “blessed parents Shivaleeka and Abhishek.”

The choice of words stood out for its restraint. There was no attempt to dramatise the moment, only a quiet acknowledgment of change. That calm tone is perhaps what made the post resonate as widely as it did.

From wedding to parenthood

The couple, who tied the knot in 2023, have largely kept their relationship away from constant public display. When they do share glimpses, they tend to be measured. This announcement follows the same pattern. It feels like a continuation rather than a sudden reveal.

Their journey from marriage to parenthood has unfolded without excess noise, which in today’s attention-heavy space feels almost deliberate. The focus stays on milestones, not commentary.

The response and what comes next

Within minutes of the post going live, messages from the industry and fans began pouring in. The comments section turned into a stream of congratulations, with many picking up on the “Laxmi” reference and the idea of the child arriving on an auspicious day.

For now, the couple has shared just enough to mark the occasion. Whether they choose to reveal more in the coming days remains to be seen. What is clear is that this moment, as they framed it, is less about announcement and more about arrival in its truest sense.

On the work front, Abhishek is set to direct the third installment of Drishyam, Drishyam 3.
