It was in May this year that Pankhuri had confirmed that they are expecting twins. “Gautam wanted to maintain the confidentiality of having twins, as he believed it was something meant for our immediate family to know. Hence, we refrained from sharing it with everyone. However, whenever someone inquired about my baby, I couldn’t help but feel compelled to mention ‘babies.’ Gautam and I consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be expecting twin babies,” she told E-Times.
