Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her billionaire husband Raj Kundra became proud parents to a baby boy born on Monday morning at Mumbai's newly-opened Hinduja Hospital.

The entrepreneur took to Twitter to spread the joyous news.

"God has blessed us with a beautiful baby boy. Both mother and baby are fine. I am thrilled to bits!!!!!!" he tweeted right after the birth of their child. He topped it up with a nod to his wife and superb healthcare provided to them.

"A big thank you to my wife @The ShilpaShetty for the bestest gift ever, DR Kiran Cohelo and all the staff at Hinduja Hospital".

Following the Beti B trend - a twick-name (twitter nickname) given to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's baby girl by Abhishek Bachchan till they came up with her official name Aaradhya - Kundra is happily referring to his son as Baby K.

"Thank you all for your love and wishes for our new born. Both mum and Baby K are resting. Our Parents now turn grand parents #blessedbaby." Shetty's family including her mother and sister were reportedly in the hospital awaiting the baby's arrival.

Meanwhile, congratulatory tweets have been pouring in from the Bollywood circle. Siren Bipasha Basu and Sameera Reddy were the first few ones to shout out on twitter.

"@TheShilpaShetty and Raj Congratulations on the birth of ur lil baby boy!So happy fr you both!Love!" tweeted Basu. Reddy echoed the sentiments with:‏ "it's a boy!! Congrts @TheRajKundra & @TheShilpaShetty ! welcome to their little bundle of joy! hugs! :)"
