Explaining to fans its meaning, the actress added, “In Hindu scriptures Vayu is one of the paanch tatvas. He is the deity of breath, the spiritual father of Hanuman, Bheem and Madhav and He is the incredibly powerful lord of wind. Praana is Vayu, a guiding force of life and intelligence in the universe. All the deity's of Praana, Indra, Shiva and Kali relate to Vayu. He can breathe life into beings as easily as he can destroy evil. Vayu is said to be heroic, brave and mesmerisingly beautiful. Thank you for your continued wishes and blessings for Vayu and his family.”
Bollywood celebrities and Sonam’s family members including father Anil Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, Twinkle Khanna, Esha Gupta, and others showered love and blessing on the couple and their son.
In August, Sonam and Anand welcomed their first child, son Vayu and announced his arrival via a heartfelt post on social media. The duo got married in an intimate ceremony in 2018 and embraced parenthood after 5 years.
