Popular West Bengal singer and music composer Anupam Roy and his wife, fellow playback singer Prashmita Paul, have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy. The musician shared the joyous news on his social media accounts on Monday, sparking a wave of congratulations from fans, well-wishers, and colleagues across the Bengali entertainment industry.
In a brief and heartfelt post on social media, Anupam wrote: “With great joy, we share that we have become parents to a baby boy.” Speaking to Indian media outlets shortly after the announcement, the acclaimed singer confirmed that both mother and newborn are doing well, whilst expressing his profound happiness at entering this new chapter of fatherhood.
The announcement came as a pleasant surprise to many, as the couple had kept the pregnancy entirely out of the public eye. Known for their preference to maintain a clear boundary between their personal lives and public personas, Anupam and Prashmita chose not to make any official announcements during the pregnancy, keeping the anticipation private until the child’s arrival.
The musical duo first met through their professional collaborations within the Bengali music industry. Over time, their professional acquaintance blossomed into a close friendship, eventually evolving into a romantic relationship. True to their discreet nature, they kept their courtship quiet before tying the knot in a quiet ceremony in 2024.
This marks a significant milestone in Anupam’s personal life. The singer was previously married to Piya Chakraborty, marking his second marriage, but the couple separated in 2021 after six years together. Piya later married actor Parambrata Chatterjee in 2023. A year following that development, Anupam embarked on his new journey with Prashmita in 2024.
The arrival of their son marks the beginning of a cherished new chapter for the musical couple, bringing widespread celebration across the West Bengal music community.
