Harbhajan Singh's wife Geeta Basra recently shared her family's reaction to the baby boy’s birth in her first interview post-delivery.

Cricketer Harbhajan Singh and wife Geeta Basra recently welcome their second child earlier this month. The couple, who is already parents to 5-yar-old daughter Hinaya, welcomed their baby boy on July 10. And though the couple is yet to share the name and glimpse of the new-born, Geeta recently shared her family's reaction to the baby boy’s birth in her first interview post-delivery.

In an interview to etimes, Geeta revealed that she had a normal delivery, “But it was a very nice experience. I am very thankful for the set of doctors and their staff who attended to me. It was a bit tough at the time of my Hinaya (first child, daughter), though.”

Geeta Basra also spoke about Harbhajan Singh being in the delivery room and said, “Oh yes, right from the word 'Go'. He was taking pictures. He loves kids. He has played a lot with Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar's kids.” When asked if Harbhajan celebrated the occasion with a Bhangra, she said, “Not really. But yes, he was on cloud nine immediately after seeing the baby. Since then, he has been so joyous that it is to be seen to be believed.” Speaking about daughter Hinaya’s reaction, Geeta said, “Oh, she's constantly looking at her brother as if it's a toy and has become very responsible.”

Speaking about the name of the newborn, Geeta said, “Harbhajan and I are going to announce it in a day or two. It's the name I had thought of when I was carrying Hinaya five years ago.” Geeta also revealed that the couple has different nicknames for their son. While Geeta calls him 'Chottu', 'Harbhajan calls him Shera.'

Earlier this month, Harbhajan took to Instagram and shared the news of his son’s birth. "A new little hand for us to hold, his love is grand, precious as gold. A wonderful gift, so special and sweet. Our hearts are full, our lives complete. We thank the almighty for blessing us with a healthy baby boy. Both Geeta and the baby are doing well. We are overwhelmed with joy and would like to extend our gratitude to all our well-wishers, for their constant love and support," he said, in a post.
