Mumbai, April 16, 2025 – Celebrations are in order for cricket and cinema fans alike as former Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan and actress Sagarika Ghatge have welcomed their first child — a baby boy, whom they have named Fatehsinh Khan.
The couple shared the heartwarming news with their followers on Tuesday through a social media post that has since gone viral, drawing blessings and congratulatory messages from across the country.
“With love, gratitude and divine blessings, we welcome our precious little baby boy, Fatehsinh Khan,” Sagarika Ghatge wrote on her official Instagram handle.
A Name Steeped in Meaning
The name Fatehsinh holds powerful symbolism — derived from the words “Fateh”, meaning victory, and “Sinh”, meaning lion, the name can be interpreted as “Victorious Lion” — a fitting title for the son of one of India’s most celebrated pace bowlers.
Fans and public figures alike have praised the name for its blend of strength, tradition, and uniqueness.
A Star Couple’s Personal Milestone
Zaheer Khan, who played a key role in India’s 2011 World Cup-winning campaign, and Sagarika Ghatge, best known for her role in Chak De! India, tied the knot in November 2017 after a long courtship. Since then, they have remained relatively low-profile, occasionally appearing together at public events and on social media.
The couple’s announcement comes after much speculation around Ghatge’s absence from recent public appearances. The confirmation of the birth has now brought joyful closure to months of anticipation among their fans.
Celebrity Reactions and Fan Wishes
Following the announcement, celebrities from both Bollywood and the cricket world extended their congratulations:
- Cricketer Yuvraj Singh, a close friend of Zaheer, commented: “Welcome to parenthood brother. God bless the little one!”
- Actress Vidya Malvade, Sagarika’s Chak De! India co-star, shared a heart emoji and wrote: “So happy for you both.”
Social media platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) were flooded with hashtags like #FatehsinhKhan, #ZaheerSagarika, and #BabyKhan.
A New Chapter for the Khan-Ghatge Household
As Zaheer embarks on his journey as a father, admirers of his cricketing legacy expressed hope that baby Fatehsinh might someday follow in his father’s athletic footsteps. However, those close to the family describe the moment as deeply personal and spiritual, emphasizing the joy of new beginnings.
A source close to the couple revealed:
“They have been preparing for this day for months. Family, love, and humility have always been their values, and the birth of Fatehsinh has only deepened that bond.”
Looking Back: A Glance at Their Journey
- Zaheer Khan, one of India’s most successful left-arm seamers, retired from international cricket in 2015. He is currently involved in mentoring roles and cricket commentary.
- Sagarika Ghatge has kept her focus on select film and OTT projects, while also engaging in philanthropy and wellness advocacy.
Their relationship, which blossomed quietly off the field and screen, has been admired for its simplicity and elegance. Their wedding in 2017 was a modest but beautiful affair attended by close friends and sporting legends.
From Power Couple to Proud Parents
As the news of baby Fatehsinh Khan’s birth spreads, well-wishers across India have united to celebrate the arrival of a new member in the Zaheer-Sagarika family. While the couple has requested privacy during this time, their message of gratitude and love continues to resonate.
With one foot in the cricketing world and the other in Bollywood, Fatehsinh Khan already carries a legacy. Whether he chooses the bat, ball, or the big screen, the country will surely be watching.
