 Hi @mukesh27,

 Thank you. In that case, if there is no need for this backwards
 compatibility, your solution is much better. I think you don't even have
 to set `$alt` variable, you could just use `'alt' => (string)
 get_post_meta( $header->attachment_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true
 );`

 However, please note that as it is possible to filter the image URL via
 `get_header_image()`, in my solution I also check if the image is actually
 the one that should have the alt text - see
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/46124/ticket46124.diff
 lines 1096 to 1101 in my patch].

 Could someone from core team provide feedback if this is OK please?
