To which, Chinmayi, shared a separate note, "I'm absolutely loving these people who are DM-ing me asking if I had twins through a surrogate just because I didn't post photos of me being pregnant. Only those who were my innermost circle knew because I was protecting myself."

She added that she will continue to remain guarded about her personal life. "I was and will be extremely guarded about my personal life, my family, my friends circle. Photos of our kids wont be on our socials either for a long while. And if you need to know I actually *sang* a bhajan during the caesarean as our twins entered the world. Get a grip of that. more on this later. But for now this is enough (sic).”
