Cinema VinesActor Karishma Tanna and businessman Varun Bangera welcomed their first child in July 2026, a baby boy born on Guru Purnima, the 29th of that month. The couple announced the birth in a joint Instagram post, writing, “Born on the sacred day of Guru Purnima… Our greatest blessing is here. 29th July 2026. Welcome to our world, little one.”
In September, the pair revealed the baby’s name, Ved Tanna Bangera, a blend of both surnames. Their caption explained that the name “Ved” means sacred knowledge, wisdom and light, deriving from the ancient Hindu scriptures. The post included a photo of the name written in Hindi and a drawing of the parents’ hands protecting a small fist, symbolising protection and love.
Karishma and Varun married in 2022 in Mumbai, with a multi‑day celebration that featured haldi, mehendi, the main ceremony and a reception attended by family and industry friends. The actress first announced her pregnancy on Instagram in April 2026, sharing adorable photos and the line, “A little miracle, our greatest gift, August 2026.” She hosted a Tulu‑style baby shower in May, posting videos that described the event as a dream come true and a beautiful, traditional celebration.
