Kalki Koechlin on Friday welcomed a baby girl born with her boyfriend Guy Hershberg.

The Gully Boy star took to Instagram to share the news of her daughter’s birth in a heartfelt note. Alongside a picture of baby’s footprints, she wrote: “Please welcome Sappho. Born 07/02/20," she said, adding: "Let’s give her some space...Thank you for all the good wishes and positive energy pouring in,".

Sharing her experience of childbirth, the actor lauded women saying: “And respect to all the women who go through the intense and gruesome experience of birth."

"So many of whom are not given credit or support for the biggest challenges they face, but are expected to do it out of some kind of duty. The process takes a huge toll both psychological and physical and should have the backing of an entire community to truly heal,” she added.

Please welcome Sappho. Born 07/02/20. She just spent 9 months wrapped up like a momo in my uterus. Let's give her some space️ Thank you for all the good wishes and positive energy pouring in. And respect to all the women who go through the intense and gruesome experience of birth, be it vaginal or c section, so many of whom are not given credit or support for the biggest challenges they face, but are expected to do it out of some kind of duty. The process takes a huge toll both psychological and physical and should have the backing of an entire community to truly heal. And a reminder to each and every human being of where we started, being formed from tiny molecules to conscious, beautiful beings. We are survivors of the biggest battle, the one for life and existence, and should treat ourselves and others with that love and respect. "Some say an army of horsemen or infantry, A fleet of ships is the fairest thing on the black earth, but I say It's what one loves." ~Sappho~ circa 600BC
