Atlee and Priya
Filmmaker Atlee and his wife Priya are all set to welcome their second child. The couple took to social media to announce that they are expecting their second baby. They welcomed their first child, Meer, in January 2023.
In a joint post on Instagram, Atlee and Priya shared pictures from their maternity shoot while sharing the happy news with their followers. The first image sees Atlee, Priya and their son Meer dressed in white outfits. While Priya can be seen flaunting her baby bump, little Meer is seen imitating his mother and lifting his T-shirt.
The second picture sees Priya dressed in a flowy blue dress, caressing her baby bump and leaning onto Atlee.
Sharing the post, the couple wrote, "Our home is about to get even cozier with the addition of our newest member! Yes! We are pregnant again. Need all your blessings, love and prayers. With love, Atlee, Priya, Meer, Becky, Yuki, Chocki, Coffee and Goofy."
Becky, Yuki, Chocki, Coffee and Goofy are the names of their pet dogs.
Soon after the announcement, congratulatory messages poured in from friends, family and admirers. Keerthy Suresh wrote, "Congratulations my darlingssss. Sending lots of love from Nyke and Keny."
Samantha Ruth Prabhu commented, "So so beautiful. Congratulations my beautiful mama." Actress Kalyani Priyadarshan dropped heart-eyed emojis, while Janhvi Kapoor wrote, "Best best best," along with red heart emojis.
The couple dated for eight years before tying the knot in 2014. They had a traditional wedding ceremony attended by friends and family. They announced their first pregnancy in December 2022, when Atlee was working on his Bollywood directorial debut Jawan, which starred Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role.
On the professional front, Atlee has joined forces with Allu Arjun for a much-hyped project tentatively titled AA22 x A6. As per reports, the actor will be seen essaying four characters - a grandfather, a father and two sons.
The film is reportedly set against the backdrop of two parallel universes, though no official confirmation has been made regarding these details.
