Yami and Aditya tied the knot in June 2021. They first announced their pregnancy during the trailer launch event of their film Article 370 in February this year.

We were jumping with joy, and emotion. Now we can’t wait, Yami shared earlier, expressing her excitement about becoming a mother. She added, You are never prepared for a moment like this. You only realise once you are in it. You get happy when it happens to your loved ones, like when my sister was pregnant. When it has happened to me, I can’t stop smiling.
