papa — wife Lavinia is expecting their first child next year.
Confirming the news, Chetan says, "Yes, it's true. The baby is
expected in January."
Mauritius getaway
Hansraj married longtime airhostess girlfriend Lavinia Pereira on
December 14 last year, and the couple went to Mauritius for their
honeymoon. "It's not a honeymoon baby," laughs Chetan. Theirs was a
love marriage and Chetan was dating her right from his college days.
Bonanza time
This is a double bonanza for Hansraj; he won Rs 10 lakh in prize
money in Fear Factor's episode two, to be aired on Sony, beating
actors Amit Sareen and Shveta Salve. "Amit was really close. It was
a game of sheer mental strength," he says.
Wanted child soon
Coming back to impending fatherhood, Hansraj says, "My parents are
feeling on top of the world; frankly, we just can't wait. This is
undoubtedly the happiest moment in the family." Lavinia, a
stewardess with Saudi Airlines, is on leave since the last three
months.
"She would love to go back to work 40 days after delivery; even I
would love it that way. But let's see... it's difficult to take a
call on that now."
Do they want a boy or a girl? "A son or a daughter will be equally
welcome. We wanted a child very soon," says the actor.
Hansraj, currently seen in Sony's Kaisa yeh Pyar Hai, says he will
work harder now. "Fatherhood is a great responsibility and I want to
give my kid the best. Of course, I will take leave when the child is
born, but just for a few days."
