Popular West Bengali singer-songwriter Anupam Roy and singer Prasmita Pal have welcomed a baby boy, marking a new chapter in their personal lives. Roy announced the news himself on social media on Monday, sharing the family’s happiness with his followers.
In his post, Roy said that he and Prasmita had become parents to a son. He later told Indian media that both the mother and the baby are healthy. The musician also expressed his happiness at becoming a father.
The announcement came as a surprise to many of the couple’s admirers because they had kept the pregnancy largely private. Prasmita’s pregnancy had not been publicly disclosed, and the couple chose not to share details about the impending arrival. Their decision reflects a broader preference for keeping their personal lives away from the spotlight.
The birth announcement therefore came without the build-up that often accompanies celebrity pregnancies. Instead, fans learnt about the new arrival only after Roy chose to share the news. Messages of congratulations quickly followed, with supporters celebrating the couple’s happiness and wishing good health for both mother and child.
Roy and Prasmita had known each other professionally well before their marriage. Their association gradually developed from a professional acquaintance into friendship and later into a romantic relationship. Even then, they maintained considerable privacy around their personal lives and did not make their relationship a major subject of public discussion.
The couple eventually announced their marriage in 2024. Their relatively low-key approach continued after the wedding, with neither making their private life a regular feature of public appearances or social media updates.
For Roy, the arrival of his son comes after several significant changes in his personal life. He was previously married to Piya Chakraborty, with whom he spent around six years before their separation in 2021. Chakraborty later married actor Parambrata Chattopadhyay in 2023. A year later, Roy married Prasmita.
Roy has built a prominent career in Bengali music as a singer, songwriter and composer. His work has earned him a strong following, particularly for songs noted for their lyrical quality and distinctive musical style. Prasmita is also a singer, making music an important part of their shared professional background.
The birth of their son now adds a deeply personal dimension to their lives. While the couple have chosen to keep many details private, Roy’s announcement offered fans a glimpse of their happiness at this important moment.
For public figures accustomed to constant attention, maintaining privacy around family life can be difficult. Roy and Prasmita have nevertheless managed to keep the pregnancy and preparations for parenthood largely outside the public eye.
Their decision to reveal the news only after the birth means that their first major public update about parenthood has been one of celebration rather than speculation. With both mother and child reported to be well, the couple can now begin adjusting to the responsibilities and joys of raising their son.
The arrival of their baby marks a fresh beginning for Roy and Prasmita, as their marriage enters a new phase shaped not only by their shared passion for music but also by the experience of becoming parents.
