Overjoyed At His Return, Two Families In Rajasthan Name Their Newborns ‘Abhinandan’

What happens when you welcome a newborn in a world where Wing Commander Abhinandan’s just been freed? Well, you name your kid after the IAF braveheart! This is precisely what happened in Jaipur, where two families chose to name their infants Abhinandan!

Vimlesh Bendara, a resident of Nihalpur in Dausa, Rajasthan was pregnant when she suddenly went into labour on Thursday morning. After being rushed to a nearby hospital, she welcomed her son at 3.30 am on Friday via C-section. Delighted at the new addition to their family, they named the infant Abhinandan after the IAF Wing Commander.

Vimlesh confessed to having watched the news and admired his valiance since his capture over the past few days. So when it was time to name their little one, ‘Abhinandan’ was a unanimous choice that the Bendara family echoed.

“I will always remember that when wing commander Abhinandan came back to India, my son was born. I hope he too should earn name, fame and glory for himself and our family,” said Vimlesh.

But they weren’t the only ones! The Tikkiwals of Sanganer in Rajasthan mirrored the sentiment. Neelam Tikkiwal gave birth to her baby late last night at 11.30pm. But they already had a name in their mind for their little one.

Baby Abhinandan’s daddy Ravi, revealed, “We came to know about Abhinandan ji through newspapers and television news. Since he has made his family and the nation proud, we are hoping our son will make the family proud too.

“And when he will grow up and would be told the story of wing commander Abhinandan, he may also get inspired. This is the reason why we will name him Abhinandan,” added Ravi, according to TOI.

Well well, joyous tidings indeed! Could you imagine a better legacy for our nation’s hero?
