The baby dons a small cap with a peacock feather attached to it, and a flute rests on him, both symbols associated with Krishna. Suyyash also thanked everyone for their wishes, "thankyou everyone from the bottom of our hearts. we’ve not been able to answer calls and reply to messgs but trust me we’ve read all the messgs and comments. all I can say is we’re overwhelmed with all the love and blessings #Sukishkababy #babyrai."

Later, the couple revealed in a video on Kishwer's YouTube channel that the pregnancy was not planned. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Kishwer admitted, “I just feel the timing has been really bad. I never imagined that my pregnancy would be like this — stuck at home and not being able to do anything, or not even being able to go out and that I’d have to be very careful about every move that I make.”
