Here's what "Vedavid" means-
Vedavid means 'one who knows the vedas'. Veda is a Sanskrit word that means knowledge or sacred scripture in Hinduism, Vid means one who has knowledge of something. Therefore, according to WisdomLib, the Sanskrit name refers to one who is “well-versed in the Vedas.” It's pronounced as ‘Vedvid’, without an ‘aa’ sound after the first ‘d’.
For those not in the know, Yami and Aditya have a very strong religious and spiritual side.
Yami and Aditya got married in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh in the presence of 20 guests during COVID-19 pandemic. Their wedding announcement — posted on Instagram by the couple — came as a surprise for many. “It was as simple as possible. Aditya and I are simple people and we like to keep it like that. We are private and reserved and only wanted to share it with the world when the time was right. Even if there was no pandemic, I assure you it would have been the same wedding. Nothing would have been different (sic),” Yami said.
