Shweta Pandit welcomes a baby girl in Italy amidst lockdown; says, “Difficult to mix such extreme news”

Bollywood singer Shweta Pandit and her Italian husband, Ivano Fucci have become parents of a baby girl. The couple has been in Florence, Italy, from the past six months.

When we spoke to Shweta, she said, “It is too difficult to mix such extreme news. The situation too isn’t good here. Hospitals accessible, but never know what’s going on,”

Shweta told Times of India, “We’ve named her Izana, a name given as a title to the kind and compassionate monarchs in Ethiopia, and it means ‘most powerful’.”

The singer also shared a few pictures with her newborn while announcing the news to her fans. “Blessings for #Izana ?? #babygirl #newborn #newparents ??,” she captioned them.

Shweta revealed that Izana was born on February 8, but the couple didn’t feel like sharing due to the current situation. She said, “The COVID-19 crisis in Italy was worse than it is in India currently. But now that the lockdown here is almost getting lifted, Ivano and I decided to share our happiness.”

Shweta said that she is in touch with her family via video calls. “The most challenging part is staying away from my own family through pregnancy and delivery. I never thought that I’d be able to take care of a newborn, but I’ve surprised myself. I’m learning a lot from my mother through video calls. My dadu (Sangeet Martand Pandit Jasraj), too, calls me everyday to check on us and see Izana,” said Shweta.

Recently, Bollywood Bubble did an Instagram live chat with Shweta where she spoke about COVID-19, lockdown,  how she is self-quarantining, and a lot more.
