Shunning the usual way of unveiling the newborns on glossy pages of magazines, social media has now changed the baby-reveal game. Celebrities are now posting personal baby pictures on social media as the first publicly shared picture of their bundle of joy. Celebs are now turning competitors by confirming the “good news” through adorable snaps on social media.
The Queen actress Lisa Haydon wrote “Zack Lalvani born 17th May 2017” announcing the joy of giving birth to her baby boy Zack. She recently treated her Instagram followers with the first glimpse of her bundle of joy where she was seen holding him in her arms.
Cutting all the fuss about paparazzi baby reveals, celebs are putting it out there on social media for the world to see. People were awestruck when Kareena Kapoor’s little munchkin Taimur made his appearance on social media. His little brown hair and blue eyes were the talk of the town.

He says “Everyone is inquisitive about celebs and most of these pictures are posted for the people to see, because these babies are famous even before they’re born and everyone wants to get a glimpse of them. Life of the celebs is cantered around the fans so its all about giving their babies stardom right from the beginning.”
