"As actors, we give leeway to the media, but that doesn’t extend to our kids. The media has the liberty of writing what they can, about how they feel about a film, even about an actor’s personal life. We understand it’s their job. But you cannot battle a parent," she said. Yami added that she will go 'all out to protect' her kid and feels she has the right to do that.

"I would love for you to meet him and bless him. But it’s a Pandora’s box. If I open it, there is no looking back. Also, it has a strong psychological impact on a kid," the Dhoom Dhaam star shared.

"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 (sic)," a portion of the note read.

On the work front, Yami is awaiting the release of her Netflix film, Dhoom Dhaam. She will be seen alongside Pratik Gandhi in the film.
