"It gives us the greatest joy to share with you the good news of the birth of our baby boy. This baby is especially dear to usbecause he was born to us after a long wait and some difficulty.

"We are humbled by the greatness of God, the miracles of science, and the kindness and love of our families and friends in being there for us while respecting our privacy. We seek your good wishes and blessings for our child," Aamir and Kiran said in a statement.
Aamir already has a daughter and son from his previous marriage to Reena Dutta, whom he divorced after being together for 15 years.
The 46-year-old actor met Kiran on the sets of his 2001 hit 'Lagaan' and married her after three years. The couple had earlier tried having a baby but Kiran suffered a miscarriage.
"Congrats Aamir and Kiran. Lots of love to you and your little baby boy. So so happy for all 3 of you (sic)," director Kunal Kohli tweeted.
Bipasha won't dance with Vivek
Beedi Jalaile in Vishal Bhardwaj's Omkara gave Bipasha Basu the much needed career boost. However, looks like Bips is in no mood to recreate the moves, especially with her Omkara co-star Vivek Oberoi.
The actress has apparently refused to do an item number with the actor in his film Zilla Gaziabad, something that has taken him by complete surprise.
Says a source, "Bipasha was approached to do an item number with Vivek and Sanjay Dutt in Zilla Ghaziabad, but she refused. Vivek was wondering what happened, but did not bother to investigate further."
However, this decision seems to have cost her. Bips was in the running to play the lead role opposite the actor in his next."
Adds the source, "Vivek thought, if she doesn't even want to be seen opposite him in an item number, how is she ever going to be able to work with him on an entire film. Hence the producers felt it would be better to let her go."

Interestingly, both Vivek and Bipasha worked together when they were newcomers, in an ad that neither wants to mention anymore. The very controversial New York Lotto TV commercial starring the two leaked online in 2010.
The ad featured Bips topless and her then spokesperson's clarified that the old commercial was meant for the international market only.
Says the source, "Ever since that episode, they have been pretty uncomfortable with each other, and that could be why she refused to dance with him." Bipasha Basu was unavailable for comment.

Bachchans reject Rs 5 cr for Baby B picture
Buzz is that two premier international magazines have approached the Bachchan family with Rs 5 crore in return of exclusive pictures of Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's baby, born on November 16. This comes four years after international magazines offered the star couple a good number of crores to share their wedding photographs.
Not surprisingly pa-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan maintains that he'll never sell his grand-daughter's pictures to any media organisation. From the time Aishwarya was admitted to hospital, a section of the media had been trying to pull strings to acquire exclusive pictures of the baby girl.
However, when the mother and the baby were discharged from the hospital, no one had been able to get any pictures of the newborn child. And naturally, that has boosted the curiosity among celebrity watchers.
"More so as she's been described by her grandfather as a baby with an 'angelic face' and light-hued, beautiful eyes, just like her actress-mother, Aishwarya. Not to forget the morphed photographs of Aishwarya and her baby floating around on the Internet," points out a source. However, the family has decided not to release any photographs, citing 'personal reasons'.
Also, upset by the circulation of morphed pictures of Aishwarya and her daughter on the web, the Bachchan family reportedly traced the original picture that had been photoshopped. As Big B himself tweeted recently, "To those that clamour for the baby's picture, I have said it before, it will not be happening. Do understand, it's personal."
Hrithik to co-direct Krrish sequel
The Krrish sequel will not only see Hrithik Roshan playing more than one role on screen, but also a special role behind the camera. The actor who had started off his career in Bollywood assisting his father, Rakesh Roshan with films like Koyla and Karan Arjun, will be turning associate director with the next Filmkraft venture. Director Rakesh Roshan confirmed the news and added, "Hrithik always helps me out whenever we work together."
Hrithik Roshan, who will not be a part of the first schedule of his ambitious home production Krrish 3, has decided not to sit at home. Along with his father Rakesh Roshan, the actor has decided to help with the direction.
On the sets of the film that started rolling on December 1 at Filmistan Studios, Hrithik has been calling the shots and taking creative decisions alongside papa Roshan.
After the first schedule of Krrish 3 with Vivek Oberoi, Kangna Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra is over, Hrithik will join the cast in front of the camera as well. The actor, who has been suffering from back problems, is fast recovering. Roshans have flown down a physiotherapist and a lady nutritionist from abroad for the same.
