Dad's the way for Abhishek Kapoor

Filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor, who tied the knot with Swedish-Indian actress and model, Pragya Yadav, on May 4, 2015, should turn dad before the year is out. "Pragya is six months pregnant and is due towards the end of December. If late, the baby will be a New Year's gift," a source close to the couple informed Mirror.

The director met Pragya at a rock concert and the two quickly started dating. They were in a live-in relationship for a few years and got engaged in a hush-hush engagement in November 2013. The marriage too was a low-key affair with barely a 100 guests, most of them family like cousins Ekta and Tusshar Kapoor and close friends, like Arjun and Mehr Jesia Rampal, and a minimum of rituals at the Iskcon temple in Juhu.

A month after the couple tied the knot, they took off to Europe, to spend time at Pragya's family home in Sweden for a 15-day honeymoon. Two months after their vacation, Gattu shared an image of his wife sporting a baby bump, captioning it 'Family Pack'.

Since his return from Sweden, the director has been parked on the sets of his upcoming film, Fitoor, an Indianised adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic, Great Expectations in Mumbai. Fondly called Gattu, the director is wrapping up the last leg of shooting with his lead actor, Aditya Roy Kapoor, who plays a desi Pip, Noor.

The filmmaker made his debut with Aryan: Unbreakable in 2006, made an impact with Rock On!! two years later and further established his credentials with Kai Po Che! In 2013, an adapation of Chetan Bhagat's novel, The 3 Mistakes Of My Life. After Fitoor, which made headlines when Rekha abruptly walked out to be replaced by Tabu as the desi Miss Havisham, the 43 year-old director will kick off a GenX musical with a cast of new talent. He has already started scripting B. Baaghi which could be his answer to the Rock On!! sequel, which he is not a part of. But before that it'll be rock a bye baby for Gattu and his Mrs. We contacted him, but the reticent director did not wish to comment.
