New Delhi/Bhopal, Jan 21 (NationPress) The Chouhan family is in high spirits as Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Shivraj Singh Chouhan embraces the joy of becoming a grandfather for the very first time.

His eldest son, Kartikey Singh Chouhan, and daughter-in-law Amanat Bansal have welcomed a beautiful baby girl, marking a significant moment of happiness within this esteemed political family.

Sharing the joyous news on his X account, Minister Chouhan expressed, “Our beloved little Lakshmi has finally joined us, showering our home with blessings. My son Kartikey has embarked on the sacred journey of fatherhood, while Amanat has embraced motherhood. Kokila has stepped into the role of grandmother, and I am thrilled to be a grandfather. Kunal and Riddhi are now uncle and aunt. Anupam ji is the maternal grandfather, Ruchita is the maternal grandmother, and Aryan is the maternal uncle. In the blessed years of 2025 and 2026, we welcomed two lovely daughters, Amanat and Riddhi, and now, this year, our little Lakshmi has come to brighten our lives…”

He also shared a heartwarming video from the hospital where the little girl was born, capturing the overwhelming joy within the family. The arrival of this little princess has filled their home with delight and anticipation.

Insiders close to the family describe this occasion as remarkably special, as this newborn signifies the first grandchild for Shivraj Singh Chouhan and his wife Sadhana Singh.

The ecstatic parents, Kartikey and Amanat, are reportedly overjoyed, welcoming the adventure of parenthood with open hearts. Kartikey, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, tied the knot with Amanat in a lavish ceremony held at the iconic Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur in March 2025.

Amanat, daughter of Anupam Bansal, Executive Director of Liberty Shoes, and Ruchita Bansal, holds an MSc in Psychological Research from Oxford University. Their wedding was a grand affair, attended by numerous political figures and business leaders, harmonizing tradition with contemporary elegance.

The couple even made a unique pledge during their wedding rituals to plant a tree for every special occasion, showcasing their commitment to environmental sustainability.

Shivraj Singh Chouhan, a seasoned BJP leader and former four-time Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, has consistently emphasized the importance of family values.

He launched the “Beti Bachao Abhiyan” during his tenure as Chief Minister in Madhya Pradesh, initiated mass-marriage functions for girls funded by the government, and introduced the ‘Ladli Behna Scheme’ to provide regular financial support to women.

The announcement of the newborn has been shared informally by the minister's office and close associates, with congratulatory messages flooding in from various political and social spheres.

The arrival of the baby girl has incited warm wishes on social media and among personal networks, with many referring to her as “a little princess who has arrived home.” While family members are keeping details private to allow the new parents to enjoy their bonding time, this event has brought joy and celebration among friends and supporters alike.

As the Chouhan family savors this precious moment, the newborn represents hope, continuity, and the pure joys that transcend the public life.

Wishes continue to pour in for the baby’s health, happiness, and a brilliant future ahead.
