The couple had earlier released a statement to request privacy for their baby that read, “We seek privacy for our child and would like to do our best to give her a chance to live her life freely, away from media and social media. As she is older, we cannot restrict her movement, and hence your support is needed so kindly practice (refrain) in the matter. A special thank you to fan clubs and people on the internet for going out of your way to not post images. It was kind and highly mature of you.”

The couple had also thanked the paparazzi for honouring their request and not clicking Vamika’s photos when they were leaving for the South Africa cricket tour.
