Television stars and real-life couple Gautam Rode and Pankhuri Awasthy are rejoicing in the bliss of parenthood as they recently embraced the arrival of twins into their lives. On the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami, celebrated on September 7, the couple held a heartwarming naming ceremony for their newborn twins at their Mumbai residence. This special event marked the unveiling of the names of their precious babies, adding another beautiful chapter to their journey as a family.
Gautam Rode & Pankhuri Awasthy Introduce Twins’ Names on Janmashtami:
On September 7th, new mom Pankhuri Awasthy shared joyful news with her fans, providing a glimpse into the naming ceremony of their twins. Through a heartwarming video, Pankhuri and Gautam Rode revealed the distinctive and meaningful names they had chosen for their babies. With pride, they introduced their daughter as Radhya and their son as Raditya.
Pankhuri conveyed her emotions with a heartfelt caption, “Grateful for all of God’s blessings… with wide smiles, echoing laughter, a whole lot of dancing, & our hearts full… we, along with our babies… RADHYA & RADITYA, wish you all a very Happy Janmashtami.”
Exploring the Significance of the Names:
Pankhuri went on to provide a meaningful insight into the names they had chosen. Radhya, their daughter’s name, signifies “One who is worthy of worship.” Additionally, it is an endearing reference to Radha, a revered figure in Hinduism, recognized as the Goddess of Love, Tenderness, Compassion, and Devotion. Radha is the embodiment of spiritual love, Krishna’s feminine counterpart, and the Supreme goddess. In Sanskrit, Radhya signifies prosperity, success, and perfection.
Raditya, the name of their son, holds its own significance. It refers to Surya, the Sun God, and Ra, the ancient Egyptian deity of the Sun. In Sanskrit, Ra signifies fire and strength, while Aditya refers to the offspring of Aditi, representing infinity. In the Hindu calendar, Sunday, the day of the Sun, is symbolized by Raditya.
Pankhuri concluded with, “Lord Krishna enchants the world, but Radhya enchants even him!”
Pankhuri Awasthy & Gautam Rode’s Love Story:
Pankhuri and Gautam’s love story blossomed on the sets of the TV show “Suryaputra Karn.” Their journey culminated in a fairy-tale wedding in Rajasthan in 2018, a testament to their enduring love and affection for each other.
As they embark on this new chapter of parenthood, Gautam Rode and Pankhuri Awasthy’s joy knows no bounds, and their twins, Radhya and Raditya, are welcomed into the world with love, warmth, and profound meaning.
