Congratulations are in order for actress Amala Paul and Jagat Desai. The New Year surely came with a happy development for the couple, who are expecting their first child together. The Bholaa star announced the big news on Wednesday by sharing a series of pictures from her special maternity photoshoot, with her husband. In the pictures, Amala and Jagat, who got married in November last year, can be seen posing on the beach. The collection of pictures begins with Amala, dressed in a red co-ord set, cradling her baby bump.
