Aparshakti and Aakriti announced the news of their pregnancy in June. Posting a photo in which he is seen kissing Aakriti's baby bump, the Stree actor wrote, "Lockdown mein kaam to expand ho nahi paya toh hume laga family hi expand kar lete hai. #PreggerAlert." The caption in Hindi was appreciated for its humor quotient which when translated sounds as follows: "As there was no expansion of work during lockdown, we decided we might as well expand our family."

Having made his Bollywood debut in Aamir Khan's box office mega blockbuster Dangal in 2016, Aparshakti Khurana went on to appear in the Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt-starrer Badrinath Ki Dulhania the same year. He also landed a role in the Sonakshi Sinha and Diana Penty film, Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi, while also making appearances in Luka Chuppi, Rajma Chawal, Bala and Pati, Patni Aur Woh. Currently, he is attached to films like Helmet, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, including Taapsee Pannu's Rashmi Rocket.
