Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Anand Ahuja's son Vayu Kapoor Ahuja turned one on Sunday. On the special occasion, the celebrity couple hosted an intimate celebration at home. The actress shared some beautiful pictures from a puja and family lunch.
Sharing pictures from Vayu's first birthday celebration, Sonam wrote, "Our Vayu turned 1 yesterday. We did a lovely puja and lunch with family. Thank you so much to the universe for giving us our blessing. #everydayphenomenal #vayusparents" She further added, "Special thanks to @ranipinklove for making a beautiful themed puja and lunch .. love you. Also thank you to @kavitasinghinteriors for the beautiful mandir she's given us."
For the puja, Vayu wore a light blue kurta and matched it with a floral-printed jacket. His look for the celebration was completed with a white pyjama. Mom Sonam looked gorgeous in a mustard yellow anarkali with a Kalamkari dupatta. She did her hair into a sleek bun. The actress opted for classic red lipstick and a pair of jhumka to complete her look. Anand was dressed in white.
Sonam's parents Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor were at the celebration with Anand's parents. The entrance of the couple's house was decorated with strings of colourful paper birds. Flowers played an important role in beautifying the space. The dining table was tastefully done with chandeliers, flowers including sunflowers and colourful cutlery. A balloon with Happy Birthday Vayu was customised for the celebration.
Vayu was born to Sonam and Anand on August 20, 2022. Announcing his birth with a creative graphic, the actress wrote on Instagram, "For this momentous occasion in our life @anandahuja and I wanted @rithikamerchant to create a special art piece to announce the birth of our baby boy. And we couldn't be more ecstatic with it. In this Art piece Rithika refers to the universal concepts of a union between the Sky Father and the gentle, attentive and watchful Earth Mother, represented here by the Eagle and the Deer respectively. Eagles or hawks are associated with fatherhood and otherworldly creation (the overarching concept of the Dyeus Pita/Sky Father). Deer are associated with motherhood.They are gentle, attentive and watchful creatures. They are always on guard and can move, adapt, and survive even in the most challenging conditions. Ever since the early Neolithic, when the earth was much colder and reindeer more widespread, the female reindeer was venerated by northern people. She was the "life-giving mother", the leader of the herds upon which they depended for survival, and they followed the reindeer migrations for milk, food, clothing and shelter. She was a revered spiritual figure associated with fertility, motherhood, regeneration and the rebirth of the sun."
