Bollywood Star Yami Gautam Embraces Detachment from Validation

In the past two years, Bollywood actress Yami Gautam has earned widespread praise and several nominations for her powerful performances in films like 'A Thursday' and 'Article 370'. However, as of November 2025, Yami has shared that she has stopped chasing awards or external approval.

The actress explained that her idea of success has evolved, and it is no longer about trophies, but about the genuine love she receives from her audience. Yami emphasized that while recognition is always nice, her true sense of achievement comes from the connection she has with her fans. She believes that the audience's appreciation is the greatest reward an actor can receive.

Yami's upcoming film 'Haq' is a courtroom drama directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, where she plays a Muslim woman fighting for maintenance rights after her divorce. The film is inspired by the real-life Shah Bano case and is set to release on November 7, 2025.
