Drashti Dhami and Neeraj

Television actor Drashti Dhami and her husband Neeraj Khemkar are expecting their first child together. The couple took to social media to share the news in a collaborative post.

Drahsti and Neeraj made a fun video announcing the pregnancy. Their friends also helped them make the video. Sharing the announcement, Drashti wrote, "In a galaxy not so far away, a tiny rebel is joining our crazy tribe. Please send love, blessings, cash & french fries our way #BabyKOnBoard (sic)."

In the video, the couple can be seen standing with a poster that read: "Could be Pink, Could be Blue. All we know is that we are due! October 2024." The couple got married in 2015.

The couple celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary earlier this month.

On the professional front, Drashti was last seen in the series 'Duranga', co-starring Gulshan Devaiah. In the ZEE5 crime thriller created by Goldie Behl, Dhami plays the role of inspector Ira, who grapples with the revelation that her husband is a serial killer.

Apart from that, she has also been part of several TV soaps, such as 'Dil Mill Gayye', 'Geet - Hui Sabse Parayi', 'Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon', and 'Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani', among others.

Dhami has been a popular face on television since featuring in Dill Mill Gaye, in 2007. She went on to front several successful shows, from Geet Hui Sabse Parayi to Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon. Having made the leap to digital entertainment, she is glad that like the small screen, the OTT space has begun to capitalise on the talent of female actors. She says, "Women playing the lead should have happened long ago. In television, actresses were anyway the protagonists, and now, it's happening on OTT as well."
