The daughter's name comes from a combination of parents' names, Aditya and Rani. In a statement given to media Rani thanked all her fans: "I would like to thank all my well wishers and fans. Today life has given us God’s greatest gift with Adira. We thank fans our friends and well wishers for their unconditional support and blessings. With joy we begin this new chapter in our lives."
