Asin and Rahul Sharma ecstatic as they welcome 'angelic' baby girl

Mumbai: Actor Asin Thottumkal and husband Rahul Sharma on Tuesday welcomed their first child, a baby girl.

The 'Ghajini' star and Sharma, co-founder of tech company Micromax, confirmed the news in a statement.

"We are ecstatic to announce the arrival of our angelic baby girl earlier today. The last nine months have been most special and exciting for the both of us and we would like to thank all our well-wishers and everyone who has been part of our journey for all their love and support," the statement read.

Asin's 'Khiladi 786' co-star Akshay Kumar served as Rahul's best man at the low-key ceremony.
