Ayushmann Khurrana wrote: "Heartiest congratulations." Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, who herself welcomed her little one, son Vayu, not long ago, reacted by saying: "Congratulations darling girl! Cannot wait to see your princess."

Riteish Deshmukh wrote: "Many many congratulations!!!!! Dearest @aliaabhatt & Ranbir - the bestest journey of your life begins today - big love."

Earlier in the day, Alia shared the happy news on Instagram along with a sweet picture of a lion family. She wrote on the picture: "And in the best news of our lives - our baby is here... and what a magical girl she is (heart emoji). We are officially bursting with love - blessed and obsessed PARENTS!!! Love love love Alia and Ranbir."
