08, our perfect baby girl came into this world and completed our little family." Afshan also said in the post: "I feel beyond blessed to give my Kyra a little sister and a best friend for life." She further shared in the caption: "I was clearly destined to be a girl mom forever.

I'll be taking some well needed time off to reset and recover and soak up every single newborn baby deliciousness with my family as a MOM OF TWO. Thank you for all the well wishes and love." The post has amassed more than 14,000 likes and some of Afshan's followers took to the comments section on the platform to express well wishes to the family.
