Bhaichung becomes father of twins

India's soccer star Bhaichung Bhutia Wednesday became a father with his wife Madhuri giving birth to twins at a private city hospital here.

"Madhuri gave birth to a girl and a boy at around 7 a.m. Both the children and the mother are fine," said gynaecologist Goutam Khastagir.

The girl was born first, a minute before the birth of the boy.

"I wanted a girl. Now that I have a girl and a boy, I feel it's the best day of my life," Bhutia said.
