today confirmed that he has a new baby,
but was cryptic about details including the
sex of his third child.
"It is a little mix of sadness and happiness
at this point of time and I would request
everyone including the concerned
authorities to show the same alacrity in
finding out and doing the enthusiastic
investigation they are doing on my baby upon other things they should be lending
their thoughts to right now," said Shah
Rukh Khan.
"Having said that when the sad part of it
gets over of course I will share everything
with you. So, this is the last question, get
on the train baby...my baby will talk some
other time", the actor said this evening. In the last few weeks, he has not
commented on allegations of a prenatal
sex test.
A spokesman at Mumbai's municipal body
said they have received confirmation that
a baby boy was born in May to Khan, 47,
and his wife Gauri.
"Andheri hospital has informed the BMC
health authorities that a boy was born on
May 27, 2013," said Vijay Khabale Patil, a
spokesman for the Brihanmumbai
Municipal Corporation (BMC).
"The father's name was Shah Rukh Khan
and the mother was Gauri Khan," he told
news agency AFP.
The baby is widely reported to have been
born by surrogacy, an arrangement in
which a woman carries the child of
another couple.
The news that the birth was as far back as
May means the child was born before
rumours surfaced in the media that the
Khans were expecting a boy, raising
suspicions of an illegal sex test on the
foetus. On seeing the reports, the Indian
Radiological and Imaging Association
wrote to the health officials demanding an
investigation. Khan, star of "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" ("The Braveheart will get the Bride") and "My Name Is Khan", topped the
first Forbes India Celebrity 100 list earlier
this year with annual estimated earnings
of 37.7 million dollars or around Rs 227
crores.
