Priyanka and I welcomed our little angel into our world, a beautiful, healthy, divine baby boy!”

The actor who is next looking forward to ‘Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story’, added, “I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for all the love, duas, blessings, prayers & aashirwaad you have sent us! Our son is truly blessed!”

Vivek who’s been excited ever since his wife was expecting, plans to go oon a complete sabbatical now, we hear. Explained the actor, “The day I got to know that my wife is expecting, I wanted to be part of the entire process. So whether be it accompanying my wife for routine check-ups and tests or shopping for clothes, diapers, etc, I was always there. I want to be involved in each and every stage. All my producers know that as soon as Priyanka delivers I will go on leave. I will disappear from the film promotions. I am trying to finish my commitments before I leave.”
