December 14th 2024.
Rahul Mandal, the talented winner of the popular baking competition Great British Bake Off, recently made a joyous announcement - he has become a father for the first time! The 37-year-old Channel 4 star shared the wonderful news on Instagram, revealing that his daughter named Debeshi was born on December 10th. Along with a heartwarming photo of himself cradling his newborn daughter, who was wearing an adorable Christmas pudding hat, Rahul also shared that his wife Shreya had been carrying their little bun in the oven for the past nine months.
In his post, Rahul also expressed his excitement and nervousness about becoming a parent, as neither he nor his wife have much experience with babies. He thanked his followers for their blessings and asked for any advice, suggestions, and support as they embark on this new journey of parenthood. The couple, who got married in 2022, also shared that the past nine months of being away from their families had brought them closer and made them stronger as a couple.
Rahul and Shreya's joy was evident in their post as they introduced their precious daughter to the world. They also took a moment to thank the maternity team at Rotherham Hospital and the amazing team at Greenoaks for their support during this amazing journey. As they signed off, they wished their followers a great weekend and joked that Shreya wanted to add that she looked tired in the photo because she was exhausted after giving birth.
After making the announcement, Rahul received an outpouring of congratulatory messages from his fellow Bake Off stars. Ruby Bhogal, who was also a finalist in 2018, commented that she was thrilled for Rahul and couldn't wait to meet their little one. Runner-up Kim-Joy also sent her best wishes, and the youngest-ever Bake Off winner Peter Sawkins welcomed baby Debeshi to the world.
Rahul's journey to becoming a Bake Off champion has been a remarkable one. Born and raised in Kolkata, India, he came to the UK in 2010 to pursue his PhD at Loughborough University. He returned to India to tie the knot with Shreya, and the couple shared glimpses of their beautiful Bengali wedding on social media. Rahul described it as more than just a wedding, but a celebration of love, kindness, and positivity that was shared with their families and friends.
His talent in the kitchen and endearing personality made Rahul a fan favorite on the show, not just for viewers but also for the judges. Dame Prue Leith even admitted that he was one contestant she would never forget. Now, as he embraces fatherhood, we can't wait to see what other sweet surprises Rahul has in store for us in the future. Congratulations to the proud parents on their new bundle of joy!
