Their daughter arrived after a long but ultimately safe labour which lasted 32 hours for Sierra.
Expressing his gratitude, Anshuman shared: "I am really grateful that Sierra and 'Tara' are both healthy and safe. And we feel truly blessed to have an angel. I have been raised by my mother, my elder sister is the reason why I could pursue acting and I have always had a lot of female influence in my life through my cousin sisters as well.”
The actor said that in a way, he is matriarchal. He also shared that in the US, it is legal to find out if it is a girl or boy but they intentionally didn't find out because they wanted to have a surprise.
He further mentioned: “We are thrilled to have our daughter. Sierra's mom and dad are here and I believe grandparents are a blessing for a child. Sierra came up with the name Tara and I loved it." The couple have kept both surnames; so their daughter will be known as Tara Jha Winters.”
Tara was born on March 10 in the United States.

The non-linear screenplay of Lal Salaam, according to Aishwarya Rajinikanth, was one of the reasons the movie fell short of its potential. Additionally, she said that Rajinikanth's presence in the movie tipped the scales because the story took a backseat and the actor was the main attraction. The film's crew had to make due with what was left of the raw footage for Lal Salaam when Aishwarya disclosed that they lost a large amount of it owing to negligence.
Talking about the film during an interview with Cinema Vikatan, Aishwarya Rajinikanth said, "It is very true that we lost a lot of footage. We were shocked that something like this could happen. It was about 21 days of shooting footage. I should say it is because of irresponsibility. And it was unfortunate. We had shot a cricket match, and it was a ten-camera set-up."
She continued, "We wanted to shoot it like it was a real cricket match. We missed the footage of all the twenty cameras. We didn’t know what to do. The problem was everyone including Vishnu, Senthil, and Appa also changed their get-up. So, we couldn’t reshoot it. In the end, we re-edited the film with whatever was left. It was challenging. Though Vishnu and Appa were cooperative and ready to do it again, we couldn’t shoot all of it again.”
