YAMI GAUTAM IS BASKING IN THE GLORY OF BEING A NEW MOTHER. SUMAN SHARMA CHATS WITH HER ABOUT HER CAREER AND LIFE CHOICES
Dancing through life's melodies

Yami Gautam: She's more than just an actor; she's a symbol of empowerment, resilience and versatility. From gripping performances in powerful roles to embracing the joys of motherhood, Yami's journey resonates with sincerity and passion. She breaks stereotypes and challenges norms with each role she undertakes, carving a path for herself in the industry. Yet, amidst the glitz and glam, she remains grounded, rooted in family values and is driven by a desire to make a difference. Here's what we learned as we delved into the life and career of this dynamic star.

What was it about the script of Article 370 that got you on board?

I still remember that moment in 2019. We watched the news on TV and saw it Article 370 in the Parliament. So, I went back to that moment and recalled how I felt at that time. To have a film now being made on the subject and to have a role based on someone's life during such a monumental chapter in our political history was simply awesome.  I wasn't going to let go of the opportunity to portray that on screen and bring it alive for our audience.

What were the challenges you faced physically while preparing for this role, considering you were pregnant at the time?
