Actor Tusshar Kapoor on Monday was thrilled to announce the arrival of his son, born last week through IVF and surrogacy.

The baby has been named Laksshya.

"I am thrilled to be a father! The paternal instincts in me have been overpowering my heart and mind for some time now.

Therefore, I am thrilled beyond words to have Laksshya, now the greatest source of joy in my life," Tusshar, son of Bollywood actor Jeetendra, said in a statement. "By the greatness of god and the excellent medical team at Jaslok (hospital), parenthood is an option for many, who choose to be single parents," added the actor, who has been a part of Bollywood comedies Kyaa Kool Hain Hum and Golmaal franchise.

Laksshya is the first grandchild of Tusshar’s parents, Jeetendra and Shobha Kapoor. Proud grandparents, Shobha and Jeetendra, are very happy and supportive of Tusshar’s decision.
