Shweta Pandit REVEALS how she came up with name Izana for her baby girl

Popular Bollywood singer, Shweta Pandit, who is in Italy with husband Ivano Fucci, recently announced the arrival of her baby girl on social media. The couple named her Izana, which is quite unique. Talking about it, the actress told Spotboye, "We have named her Izana which you may not find on Wikipedia or in any search engines. Even if you do, you won't find the right meaning because that's not where I got the name from. I got it from books. I did a bit of researching because my husband wanted the name Iza, but I wanted a longer name so I did a lot of reading and I came across an Ethiopian book where I read about the Kings, Queens and the monarchs of Ethiopia wherein centuries ago, they were given the title of Izana which means powerful. Back then, they used to call those people powerful who were kind and compassionate- so I thought it has a very unique meaning. So that's how the name came about."

When asked, whom does the baby resembles out of her and husband, she replied, "Right now, she is too small so we can't figure that out. But, we are just having fun looking at her features and fighting over who she looks like. I look at her eyes and hair and say 'these are like mine' and there will be a small fight over it. So it's more of teasing right now."

The singer, who is known crooning for hit tracks in films like Highway, Partner and Welcome added, "Obviously, there wasn't any preference on the son and daughter part. We would have been happy with whatever God had planned for us, and of course there are lots of precautions that we have to take at this point because of the COVID-19 situation. I must say that it's been extremely challenging to raise a newborn in Italy at this hour because we are not with my part of the family here. Plus the Indian traditional way of raising a newborn is very different from the Italian way. And I'm used to the Indian way because that's what I've seen from years. Also, the post-partum is very different in Italy, like we do 40 days in India but it doesn't exist here. It was impossible to go out and so the early pediatrician visits were difficult, even to get her vaccines were difficult. So we faced a lot of challenges but I must say that my husband has truly been an angel for being very patient in this situation. But yes, my mom taught me everything on video calls because I was supposed to fly back to Mumbai in the first week of March, in fact for Holi."

Once again, we congratulate Shweta Pandit and Ivano Fucci for welcoming the little bundle of joy.
