She is beautiful," he said, as per reports.

Salman further added, jokingly, "Ab iske baad to December 27 ka matlab hi badal gaya in our family. In fact, I just tweeted to my fans that I really want to thank them for their love and good wishes. I have become mama again, I am an uncle too, bas kisike baap nehi bane.”
