Bollywood actress Shivaleeka Oberoi and her filmmaker husband Abhishek Pathak are joyfully expecting their first child together. The couple, who tied the knot in 2023, shared their pregnancy news with fans in December 2025 and have now offered a heartwarming first look at the mother-to-be's growing baby bump.
First Glimpse of the Baby Bump
Taking to her official Instagram account, Shivaleeka Oberoi posted a series of adorable pictures that beautifully capture her pregnancy glow. In the photos, a beaming Shivaleeka is seen gently caressing her baby bump while posing for the camera. She kept her outfit simple yet chic, wearing a plain tank top paired with comfortable baggy denim jeans.
The caption accompanying the photos was short and sweet, reading "Holding onto this." In a playful addition to her Instagram Stories, the 'Khuda Haafiz' star humorously noted, "When you finally have the courage to post but not the permission." The post has since garnered an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans and colleagues in the film industry.
A Journey of Love: From Proposal to Parenthood
The couple's path to this happy moment began with a dreamy proposal. Abhishek Pathak popped the question to Shivaleeka Oberoi during a romantic hot air balloon ride in Turkey, a grand gesture that was widely shared on social media.

The pregnancy announcement was made amid the Christmas festivities in December 2025. The couple shared the joyful news on social media with a poetic message: "Our love story has found its sweetest verse -- a tiny blessing is joining our universe."
