It’s a boy for NTR Jr-Lakshmi Pranathi

Actor NTR Jr and his wife Lakshmi Pranathi were blessed with a baby boy on Tuesday morning at a city hospital. “The mother and baby are healthy. NTR Jr came to the hospital immediately after arriving from Switzerland,” says a source, adding that Lakshmi Pranathi had been admitted for three days and that she had a C-section delivery.

Dr Pranathi Reddy of Rainbow Hospital delivered NTR Jr’s  child. The actor, meanwhile, has asked the hospital staff to respect his family’s privacy. As the word spread, many fans turned up at the hospital to catch a glimpse of the happy father. Director Puri Jagannath, producer Bellamkonda Suresh and actor Kalyan Ram also visited the hospital. The actor’s father Nandamuri Harikrishna is expected to visit in the evening.

The celebrations spilled over to the social media as well. Actor’s fans flooded the sites with posts and hashtags like #LittleYoungTigerArrived. An interesting trivia — with the hashtag #HistoryRepeats — that has gone viral in connection with politics is that NTR Jr was born in 1983, when TDP had its last big victory. And in 2014, also being a big year for the party, NTR Jr has become a father.
