Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has become father for the second time as his wife Tahira gave birth to a baby girl in Chandigarh on Monday.

The "Vicky Donor" actor exclaimed in delight announcing the news of the newest addition to the family.

"There's a birth of a father again. Was proud to be the first one to get married in my batch of 99 of St John's high school Chandigarh. I'm also the youngest father. It's a feat to be a parent in your 20s. It's overwhelming! O boy! It's a baby girl!" read the actor's statement, reported PTI.

The proud parent further revealed, "I learnt humility from my mother and chivalry from my wife. Now I will become compassionate because of my daughter."

Khurrana, who tied knot with his author wife Tahira Kashyap in 2011, already has a toddler boy named Virajveer, born in 2012.

The 29-year-old, who is otherwise quite active on social networking space had so far kept the news of his wife's pregnancy under wraps and even did not share the news of his daughter's birth on his Twitter handle.

The actor has been in news recently after he issued an official statement denying his association with Akshay Kumar's project "Mubarakan."

"There is no truth whatsoever to the news doing the rounds that Akshay Kumar ropes in Ayushmann Khurrana for his next production venture," read the VJ-turned- actor's statement, reported PTI.

Khurrana was last seen in YRF's dud "Bewakoofiyaan" released last month. He is presently working on another YRF film "Dum Laga Ke Haisha" and also has "Bombay Fairytale" and a Shoojit Sircar film at hand.
