Prithviraj and Supriya named their newborn baby girl Alankrita Menon Prithviraj. The happy father shared his happiness on Facebook.He posted, “Supriya and I would like to welcome our baby girl "Alankrita Menon Prithviraj". Thank you all for the love and blessings and prayers! “

 

Post that a series of comments cropped up questioning the inclusion of caste name as Prithviraj was always against caste system. The actor came forward and gave a detailed justification.

 

He said, "To all those who have an opinion on my daughter's name... I have publicly spoken against caste system and a society that still holds undercurrents of discrimination by the same... and I feel as strongly about it today and will do so forever. My wife all through her professional career has been addressed as Ms Menon and even today is addressed so by many of her colleagues. Hence, the "Menon" in Alankrita Menon Prithviraj is JUST a name and it so happens that a caste that once existed (according to me) was called the same."
