Neil and Rukmini, along with their families have started the preparations to welcome their little bundle of joy. In an interview, Neil opened up about the preparations going on in the house, and shared, “We have a cot which has been passed down for generations; it has been with us for 50 years. From my aunts to my father and me, it has gone through every child in the family. We keep changing its linen and toys, and keep renovating it. We will pick up stuff for the cot and some basic clothes for the baby.”
Rukmini gave Neil this good news two days before his birthday, and he believes that it is the best birthday gift he could have ever wanted. Neil is managing his professional commitments to spend most of the time with wife. Sharing the same in an interview, he had stated, “I was supposed to be shooting somewhere away from Mumbai after this, but we have changed the location and come closer to Mumbai. It won’t be difficult to travel back and forth from home. But I had already made commitments for September, October, and November, and that is exactly the time when the baby will be here. I will try my best to be around Rukmini as much as I can.”
Neil also shared that it doesn’t matter to them if it is a boy or a girl, “The arrival of our first born hasn’t seeped in yet but I’m definitely very excited for the next phase in my life. I am lucky to have great support system at home, who are constantly guiding Rukmini on the dos and don'ts. We are okay with a baby girl or a baby boy as long as the baby is healthy.” (Also Read: 6 Famous Celeb Couples Who Announced Pregnancy A Little 'Hatke' From Others)

Meanwhile, the mommy-to-be revealed that they are on a shopping spree for the baby, and Neil will be an excellent father of their child. She shared, “Neil will be an excellent doting father just as he is a fantastic husband. He loves children. The family has been taking great care of me. We have been doing a lot of baby shopping over the past few months apart from doing a lot of activities together like meditation, yoga and music.”
Nitin Mukesh branded this phase to be “the happiest moment in our lives.” And further went on to say, “This is the 4th generation of the Mukesh legacy. This means the world to us and we are very elated. The one thing Nishi and I were looking forward to after Neil got married was a grandchild. In fact, Nishi has started redesigning the family cot that has been passed on from generation to generation for the new arrival.”
In June, the would-be-grandfather Nitin Mukesh shared a picture with soon-to-be-mommy, Rukmini from her baby shower, and captioned it, “BAHURANI’S BABY SHOWER....” Neil is quite confident that he will be a hands-on-father. Talking about the same to HT, he was earlier quoted as saying, “My brother is 10 years younger than me and my sister’s kids are also fond of me. So, I am pretty good with kids and I hope I make for a good father as well.”
Speaking about his ‘perfect’ wife, Neil had earlier said, “I think she (Rukmini) is just perfect. She is the perfect balance that any man would want in his woman. She is simple, beautiful, loving and all the awesome adjectives I can think of. She fits them all.” And on their first wedding anniversary, Neil posted an endearing capture with his lovely wife, and wrote, “1 year just flew by. I love you loads. Thank you so much for being you and being a part of my life forever. I Love you loads baby. Cannot even think of life without you. @rukminineilmukesh Happy 1st anniversary.” (Also Read: Neil Nitin Mukesh's Dear Wifey Rukmini Sahay's First Look From Her Grand Baby Shower)
