Popular television actor Rohit Purohit, currently winning hearts as Armaan in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, recently opened up about one of the most tender and unforgettable moments of his life — feeling his baby kick for the very first time. The actor, who is expecting his first child with actress-wife Sheena Bajaj, spoke about the experience with immense joy, calling it nothing short of magical.
In a heartfelt revelation, Rohit shared that the moment he felt the baby’s first kick left him overwhelmed with emotion. “It’s difficult to put it into words,” he said. “When I placed my hand on Sheena’s belly and felt that tiny movement, I was just stunned. That little flutter — it’s like the universe whispered to me, ‘Your life is about to change forever.’”
The actor confessed that although they’ve been preparing for parenthood for months now, this one moment brought a new depth to their journey. “We’ve been reading, planning, decorating the baby’s room — but nothing compares to feeling that first kick. That was the moment I truly felt the presence of our baby. This little life growing inside Sheena… it made everything real in a whole new way.”
Rohit, who has always maintained a low-key and grounded personal life despite his growing fame, added that the experience has made him more reflective. “You hear people talk about how a child changes you. And it’s true. Even before holding the baby in my arms, I feel like something inside me has shifted. There’s a sense of calm and purpose,” he shared.
He went on to praise Sheena, who has been navigating her pregnancy journey with grace and strength. “Sheena has been incredible. Watching her transform — emotionally, physically — while carrying our child, has made me respect her even more. Every little discomfort, every mood swing, every moment of anticipation… she’s handling it all with so much grace.”
Fans of the couple have been eagerly following their journey since they announced their pregnancy earlier this year. Their social media is sprinkled with sweet glimpses — from maternity photoshoots to candid couple moments — and now, Rohit’s touching statement about the baby’s first kick has made admirers even more emotional.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2019 after years of dating, share a strong bond both personally and professionally. Their shared excitement about entering this new chapter in life is palpable. “We talk to the baby every night,” Rohit revealed with a smile. “We already feel like parents — protective, nervous, and deeply in love.”
The Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai star also mentioned how his schedule has become even more hectic now, but he is consciously trying to strike a balance between work and home. “As actors, we’re used to long hours, but now there’s this new sense of responsibility that makes me want to be there for every little milestone. I don’t want to miss a single heartbeat, a single movement.”
With the baby due in the coming months, Rohit and Sheena are cherishing every step of this beautiful phase. They continue to receive love and blessings from friends, family, and fans across the globe.
In a world where celebrity news often revolves around glamour, this story stands out — not for its flashiness, but for its simplicity and soul. A father-to-be, quietly overjoyed by the tiniest of life’s miracles — a kick that told him, “I’m here.”
