Actor Ashish Chowdhry has named his twin daughters Salara and Sammah.

The 36-year-old, who became a father to twin girls Nov 3 last year, took to social media Tuesday to announce the names of the little ones.

"Yes, it's official..'Salara' n 'Sammah' are the latest Chowdhrys..Took a while coz I was not here..Even tho d names were always in my heart (sic)," Ashish tweeted.

The actor missed being with his twins as he was away shooting for "Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi" just a couple of weeks after they were born.

Ashish's first child with wife Samita is a son named Agastya.

In another tweet, the "Dhamaal" actor said that his son will be the protector to his sisters.

He wrote: "Lil' August played an active part in namin his baby sisters. Proudly says he's gonna b d protector of 'Sally & Sammy' as he calls em. #touche (sic)"
