👶 About Baby Mira

Mira was born on April 22, 2025 – which also happens to be her parents Jwala and Vishnu’s fourth wedding anniversary (April 22, 2021). The emotional content of the couple’s celebration was heightened by the fact that Jwala’s stepson Aryan (Vishnu’s son from his first marriage to Rajini Natraj) took part in the near-merging of two worlds on the day—yes this is how Vishnu described it:
“It was the day where we blended both families.”

Their private but yet tight-knit family, which always showed the world only snaps of togetherness, accepted Mira with love into their fold. Fans of the couple who have watched their journey along the way joined in their happiness at the surprise moment.

🌟 Aamir Khan’s Personal Touch

Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan, who is known for his mindful and personal acts, once again proved that he has a heart of gold. His attendance at the naming ceremony all the way from Mumbai to Hyderabad shows the close relationship he has with the couple.

Aamir had reportedly even decided on the name ‘Mira’ after much thought and was appreciated for picking the perfect name. Though he did not make a public statement, his presence alone was telling. The sweet shots caused fans to gush and leave kind messages all over the photo, showcasing the true love on the day.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family Journey

Popular Tamil actor Vishnu Vishal and the celebrated badminton player Jwala Gutta tied the knot secretly in April 2021 after dating for two years.
Personal life Vishnu was married to Rajini Natraj (2010–2018), by whom he has a son, Aryan, born 2017.
The couple brought Mira home on their wedding anniversary, representing a fresh start and solidarity in their blended family.
Jwala, who has medaled at the Commonwealth Games and World Championships and was presented with the Arjuna Award, said in an interview with Hindustan Times that she plans to raise Mira away from screens — no smartphone access until she turns 18.

💬 Jwala on Motherhood

In a conversation with Hindustan Times in May 2025, Jwala had opened up about her journey to motherhood.

She said it felt natural and “very similar”, but also quite different, she added, having looked after her younger sister and trainees at her badminton academy.

Jwala made up her mind and decided to keep Mira offline, sheltering her from early exposure to the digital world, and ensuring that she gets no smartphone until she’s an adult, with a hope of preserving her innocence and health.

💭 Looking Ahead

Baby Mira, who is likely to be a regular visitor to Jwala’s badminton academy in the days ahead, is part of the new journey of the family even as the former continues to mentor young talent at her badminton academy that is throwing talent. Jwala has already posted glimpses of Mira spending time at the court—a sweet homage to her dream that her daughter’s love affair with the game will live on.

Having both Aryan and Mira in their lives gives Jwala and Vishnu more depth and balance in the family.

Aamir Khan at Mira’s naming ceremony is a testimony to the love and respect he shares with the couple and is a happy reminder of lifelong friendships and memories.

🌈 In Summary

The naming of Mira meant more than just upholding a tradition in theory — it was an occasion for love, togetherness, and family. Aamir Khan gives his heartfelt blessing as Jwala and Vishnu bring their daughter into the world with meaning and warmth.
