Aamir Ali, after months of wait by fans, has finally shared the first photos of his and estranged wife Sanjeeda Sheikh's daughter Ayra Ali. Aamir took to his Instagram account on Sunday night and shared Ayra's photo calling her his 'eternal Valentine'. The actor had earlier shared a small glimpse of Ayra in August last year after she turned 1.
Sharing her picture on Instagram on Sunday, Valentine's Day, Aamir wrote, "A part of my heart.. my eternal valentine.. #happyvalentinesday to everyone.. spread #love today n every day... #ayraali #jaan." The photo showed Aamir holding Ayra in his lap. She wore a pink dress and was encircled by several Barbie dolls.

Aamir's friends from the television and film industry congratulated Aamir and showered love on Ayra. Kavita Kaushik wrote, "Mashallah shez so precious, soooooo cute." Aashka Goradia also left heart-eyes emojis on the post. New dad Nakuul Mehta also left heart emojis on the photo. While Aamna Sharif wrote, "My dolll.. mashallah."
In his post in August, Aamir had introduced his daughter to his fans and wrote, "Didn’t know how angels look like until I saw her exactly a year back..My Lil girl from heaven, had come down to earth..didn’t believe in love at 1st sight, until I saw her de first time..So much has happened this 1 year, my Chota sa jaan kept me strong n going..My love, My jaan completes 1 year.. Ayra Ali #ayraali #love #life #30thaugust."
Sanjeeda Sheikh was missing from both the photos that Aamir posted. Aamir and Sanjeeda, once television's most loved couple, were rumoured to have welcomed Ayra through surrogacy last year, but separated soon after. They never formally confirmed their separation.
