Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar, who tied the knot in 2021, are expecting their first child. The couple announced the arrival of their baby boy, who was born on May 10, 2024. They shared the news on their Instagram page and revealed that they had named him Vedavid. In a recent interview, the actress spoke about her newborn, describing how Aditya has become a hands-on father and a burp expert, and also mentioned that the baby feels happiness whenever he sees him.
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Yami Gautam shared that she still sometimes finds it hard to believe that she is a mother, particularly when she refers to her child, Vedavid, as “my son.” She mentioned that it’s moments like these when the reality truly sinks in.
She also spoke about her husband, Aditya Dhar, who is currently busy with the shooting of his next film. When asked about his involvement in fatherhood, she revealed that he is an incredibly hands-on father, an expert at burping, and that Vedavid adores him.
Gautam described the special moment when Vedavid spots Aditya, saying he lights up, gets shy, and jumps towards him eagerly. She added that despite his busy schedule, Aditya makes time to visit and spend time with them, and the baby can sense happiness in those moments.
The URI actress stated that no amount of reading manuals or books can truly prepare anyone for the arrival of a child. She explained that parenting is a continuous learning process, and the more time one spends with their baby, the more the baby teaches them.
Yami mentioned that she tries not to rely too much on the internet for parenting advice, emphasizing the importance of mothers and expressing gratitude for her own mother.
Gautam revealed that her mother, Anjali, has been instrumental in helping her navigate motherhood, describing her as a “hands-on” parent. Gautam often said that she doesn’t know what she would do without her mother’s support.
Despite being a grown woman and a mother herself, Gautam noted that she still finds herself seeking her mother’s guidance, as being a parent never truly stops.

Quincy Jones’ cause of death was revealed nearly a fortnight after his passing on November 3. According to a death certificate obtained by TMZ on Wednesday, November 13, the legendary musician died of pancreatic cancer, with no other contributing factors to his death at age 91.

“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing. Although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life he lived and know there will never be another like him,” Jones’ family said in a statement, as reported by multiple celebrity news outlets.

Following her father’s death, Rashida shared an emotional tribute.
“My dad was nocturnal his whole life. He kept ‘jazz hours’ starting in high school and never looked back. When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night to search for him,” Rashida wrote via Instagram on November 7. She described her father as love personified and shared how he would never send her back to bed after she found him composing somewhere in the house late at night. Instead, he would smile, bring her into his arms, and continue scribbling ideas on sheet music.
Jones’s musical legacy includes achievements such as being the second most-awarded Grammy artist of all time, with 28 Grammy Awards.
As a producer and arranger, he collaborated with giants like Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Paul Simon, and Aretha Franklin.
Beyond his musical prowess, Jones’s cultural reach extended to attending state dinners with figures like Picasso, celebrating birthdays with Nelson Mandela, and retreating to Marlon Brando’s island in the South Pacific to recover from a breakdown. He oversaw President Bill Clinton’s first inauguration celebration and supervised the all-star recording of We Are the World, the iconic 1985 record for famine relief.
One week after his death, Jones’s family gathered for a private funeral in Los Angeles. Though no further details about the memorial were shared, the family expressed gratitude through the Associated Press for the outpouring of condolences and tributes from friends and admirers worldwide.
