  • Her first child, Kiran Ram Saghal. Kiran is a Sanskrit word for “ray of light”. [May 1998] On 3 February 2001 her second child, daughter Sarame Jane Sahgal, was born weighing 7lbs 12oz. Gave birth to her 3rd child, a Son on 11 July 2003. The baby’s name is Ravi Lyndon Sahgal.
  • During the second season of “The Practice” (1997), Kelli became pregnant with her first child. The pregnancy was not written into the show, and so the writers gave her character the job of re-decorating the law office…easily hiding her expanding belly behind tables and paintings. By the time the fifth season came around, Ms. Williams became pregnant once again, but this time ‘Lindsay’ was newly married to senior partner ‘Bobby’ and writers were able to fit it into the storyline. In the show’s seventh season, Kelli became ‘pregos’ once again and, although her on-screen marriage was still on (but hanging by a thread), producers failed to make ‘Lindsay’ pregnant.
  • Stepsister of Marc Rocco.
  • Stepdaughter of Alex Rocco.
