The duo captioned the photos as, “We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the exceptionally dedicated and wonderful medical professionals at Surya Hospital, especially Dr. Bhupender Awasthi and Dr. Ranjana Dhanu, whose expertise and tireless efforts made this joyous occasion possible. As we embark on this beautiful journey of parenthood, we eagerly anticipate the bright future that awaits our son. With every milestone he achieves, we are filled with the hope and belief that he will grow to become a beacon of pride for our entire family as well as our beloved nation.”

Of the two pictures, the first one displayed the picture of the couple and the second one showcased the picture of Lord Krishna holding a baby boy. The post garnered huge attention on the social media platform and multiple Bollywood celebrities congratulated the couple on achieving a huge milestone.

Dad-to-be Ranveer Singh was the first one to express his heartiest congratulations saying, “Bahut bahut bahut sara pyaar!” Additionally, Hrithik Roshan, Mrunal Thakur, Neha Dhupia, Ayushmann Khuranna, among others showered their congratulatory messages.

The 35-year-old actress and her husband announce the news of their pregnancy during the trailer launch of Article 370 and that the latter also revealed that she also filmed action sequences of the movie during the initial months of her pregnancy and considered it “challenging and mentally draining”. “It was challenging. It was mentally draining too. I could write a thesis on it. There are so many questions, the firsts are always challenging.” 

Yami has also recently revealed in an interview that she will continue “to be a working mother for sure.” Besides Article 370, Yami has worked in films such as Vicky Donor, Uri: The Surgical Strike, Bala, Badlapur, OMG 2.
