‘It’s mentally taxing’
After joking that she could write a thesis on working while pregnant, Yami told the press that it’s ‘mentally taxing.’ She said, “Plus the firsts are always challenging. If you ask me about motherhood and everything coming together, I don’t know what I would’ve done if Aditya wasn’t by my side.”
She also said that she felt a ‘responsibility as an actor’ to see this film through. “We took a lot of precautions. It wasn’t the time to tell everybody and was kept a secret while shooting. But luckily, I had only the talkie portions left to shoot. But I thank the doctors who monitored me secretly,” she added.
Yami also said she enjoyed training for the film to play an NIA agent. “Most of the training and stunts were done (by the time I was pregnant). You want to be careful,” she said, adding, “It’s surreal my baby was a part of this (film), it was always two of us putting in the hard work. I was also inspired by my mother, I’ve seen her work through pregnancy. We Indian women are stronger than we give ourselves credit for.”
