Vivek has now praised Yami Gautam for her reaction to a negative film review that she had dubbed 'extremely disrespectful.' Taking to his Twitter account on Friday, the filmmaker wrote, "Bravo, @yamigautam for speaking up. You need no certificates for your talent from this vicious mafia led by @anupamachopra." He was reacting to a tweet by Yami in which she had said that though she takes 'constructive criticism' in her stride, she feels it's necessary to speak up if a 'certain platform' keeps trying to pull her down.
Yami was talking about part of a review of Dasvi by Film Companion, that read, 'Yami Gautam is no longer the dead girlfriend in Hindi films, but the combative smile is starting to get repetitive.' Sharing a screenshot of the sentence, Yami had written in a Twitter thread, "It takes years of hard work for anyone & especially a self-made actor like me to keep proving our mettle again & again with every opportunity. This is what it comes down to from certain reputed portals! It's heartbreaking since I did look up to @FilmCompanion once upon a time, like many of us, but I don't seek that since long now! I would request you not to 'review' my performance henceforth ! I'll find grace in that & it'll be less painful."
