After the birth of their baby boy, the proud father, Ruslaan had taken to his Instagram to share the first-ever pictures of his newborn. Because the little one had come into this world during the global pandemic, Ruslaan and Nirali feel that he is a ‘superhero’. Sharing the first cute picture of his ‘chota baby’, Ruslaan had written, “Ideally this should have been the first picture of Chota Baby but we don't live in an ideal world anymore. #chotababy #superhero #toughtimesdontlast #toughguy.”
On March 26, 2021, Ruslaan and Nirali’s baby boy, Rayaan turned one and the doting father penned a heartmelting wish for his little wonder. He took to his IG handle and shared an adorable twinning family picture with Nirali and Rayaan and wrote, “Happy Birthday to my Chota Baby. I sometimes wonder if you have made my world upside down or I've made yours by just bringing you into this world. Sometimes you are my toy, my photo prop, my stress buster, my workout equipment, my responsibility, my dependent but above everything you are my blood. Even though I still don't feel like a dad I feel our bond. Before you came into this world I had so many fears and apprehensions about how I would be with a child but once I actually saw you it all seemed so natural as if I was always prepared for this. Today you turn 1 and I can see the long journey ahead for us. I hope and pray that it is as easy and fun as the first year has been. Happy Birthday @rayaanmumtaz.” On the other hand, Nirali shared an IG reel of Rayaan's cake smash and wrote, "Today is a great day cause it's my birthday!"
In an interview with the Hindustan Times, Ruslaan Mumtaz had announced the name of their ‘superhero chota baby’ and had revealed why they had decided to keep this name. Ruslaan was quoted as saying, “Rayaan means gates to heaven. Nirali came up with this name and we immediately locked it. She was very close to her grandmother who passed away two days before the baby was born. So, she decided to call him Rayaan, opening the gates of heaven for our grandmother, into our lives.”

Then you grew up and weren't a baby anymore, you turned into a strong, independent woman and the Chota Baby disappeared but now in 2020, the Chota baby will rise again. Cheers to the Chota Baby Releasing in April 2020 only in Mumbai, India.”
