Speaking about preparing themselves for their second child, Shilpa in an interview to Mumbai Mirror said:

“We had been trying for a second child for five years. I had signed Nikamma and had committed my dates to Hungama when I got the news that in February, we were going to be parents again. We cleared our work schedules for the whole month.”

She went on to thank her dedicated team who helped her wrap her schedule early so that she can spend enough time with the baby girl. “They helped me complete most of my work before I took the long break in February.”

When quizzed how she came up with the name of her little bundle of joy, she reportedly said, “I came up with it when I was 21. I had always prayed for a daughter.”

Shilpa had earlier mentioned in her Instagram post the meaning of her daughter’s name. “‘Sa’ in Sanskrit is “to have”, and ‘Misha’ in Russian stands for ‘someone like God’. You personify this name – our Goddess Laxmi, and complete our family,” she added.

Welcome to the world, little SSK, and many congratulations to the Kundra clan!
