Mahesh Bhatt is over the moon. Earlier this morning Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor reached the hospital for the delivery of their first child. Grandpa-to-be could not be more excited. Speaking to ETimes, the filmmaker shared his happiness ahead of welcoming his first grandchild.

"Waiting for a new sun to rise. A fresh sparkling dew drop of life," he said.

Ranbir and Alia were seen arriving at HN Reliance Hospital around 7.30 am. The couple had tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at their residence in April this year after being in a relationship for around five years.

Earlier when Alia had announced her pregnancy, Mahesh Bhatt had said to ETimes, "Ah, my baby is going to have a baby! I am so happy for Ranbir and Alia. May our ‘tribe’ increase. And now I have to prepare for the most important role of my life: The role of a Grandfather. This is going to be a grand debut."

Close friend Aditya Seal too had spoken about Alia's pregnancy to ETimes and said, "I know Alia and the child will be fine. I wish her the best. I know it will be a very beautiful kid. I haven't seen Alia and Ranbir happier than this ever before."
