Asked previously if she wanted a boy or a girl, Rajput had responded stating, "Don't know and doesn't matter".
The couple tied the knot in 2015 and became parents to daughter Misha in 2016. Taking to Instagram in April to announce Rajput's second pregnancy, Kapoor had shared Misha's image and written, "Big sister".
Shahid Kapoor is already on a paternity break. While speaking to mid-day about going on paternity leave, Shahid had said, "During Misha's birth [in 2016], I took a couple of months off. This time too, I was negotiating to take a month-long break, but things didn't work out. I will get only a week off from work. It is too short a duration, but such are the circumstances." The imminent diaper duties and sleepless nights will be a refreshing change of pace for him, affirmed Shahid Kapoor.
