The veil of secrecy over Shah Rukh
Khan's third baby,
born with the help
of a surrogate
mother, has been
lifted with civic authority BMC
confirming the development on July 3.
"Yes, we have received the birth report
of Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan's baby
boy," BMC additional municipal
commissioner Manisha Mhaiskar told
PTI.
As per details in the birth report, the
baby boy was born on May 27 to parents
listed as Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Shah
Rukh Khan at the Masrani Hospital for
Women in suburban Andheri.
The couple already has son Aryan and
daughter Suhana.
The child was born at 34 weeks of
pregnancy and weighed 1.5 kg at birth,
BMC sources said quoting report received
from Masrani Nursing Home.
It is mandatory for nursing homes and
hospitals to register every birth in the
city. The civic body issues birth
certificates to parents on the basis of
that report.
Speculation was that Gauri's sister-in-
law Namita Chibber may have been the
surrogate mother but there has been no
confirmation so far.
Earlier, following a complaint based on media reports that a pre-natal sex determination test had been conducted,
the BMC had sent a team to Khan's
residence last month to ascertain the
facts. The team, however, was turned
away.
Gender testing is banned in the country
under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal
Diagnostic Technique Advocate Varsha
Deshpande had filed a complaint with
the state government and the BMC
against the 47-year-old actor for allegedly selecting and revealing the sex
of the foetus.
The superstar has, however, chosen to
keep silent on the issue. Efforts to
contact Shah Rukh failed even today.
