Sonam Kapoor Ahuja marked her baby shower with a Seemantonnayan ceremony—also widely known across India as godh bharai/seemantham/shrimant—celebrating the mother-to-be and the life she carries.
According to reports, the celebration was hosted at the Kapoor family home in Mumbai on February 8, 2026, with close friends and family coming together for the rituals and festivities.
