The actor took out time to interact with the media on the occasion of his birthday. Asked about how he got the good news about Ayat, Salman shared: “Today when I woke up in the morning, I checked my phone and I saw Ayat’s picture. It was most beautiful thing. I have tweeted about it few hours ago. She is a beautiful kid. After this year, 27th December will no longer be only my birth date,” he laughed, adding: “Now I have become everything -- paternal uncle and maternal uncle. I think I couldn’t have asked for better gift than this. The best gift our family has got is new born baby in the house. We are very happy. Today, it was all about my birthday, ‘Dabangg’ and Ayat.”

Talking about who named the newborn, Salman said: “There were two names, one was Farah and another one was Ayat. Arpita went ahead with Ayat. Our family members have names that start with either A or S. My father suggested the name.”

Earlier, soon after Ayat was born, Arpita shared a photo that had these words written on it: “Our little princess has arrived - Ayat Sharma”. She also captioned the picture: “Welcoming our daughter into the world. Grateful and overjoyed.”
