Actor Yami Gautam and filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s love story didn’t unfold with love at first sight or any filmy drama. Instead, it grew quietly and organically and the actor admits that this simple factor turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to them.
Yami on bond with Aditya
Yami looked back at her love story with Aditya when she joined Karishma Mehta for a podcast on Humans of Bombay Show on YouTube.
When asked how she met Aditya, Yami revealed that she got close to him while promoting Uri: The Surgical Strike.
She said, “During promotions is when we started talking, we became friends and there was ‘oh, I'm going to propose to you’ kind of moment or anything filmy or all those things for me or him All those things that we probably think of…Which was the best thing because even I'm not that kind of person. We just knew that we really want to get married. Our families were extremely aligned and they were really happy for us.”
At this point, Yami admitted that he respects Aditya as a director too, mentioning, “He is one of the most respected directors. You can ask anybody from any of his films. That is one of the most commendable things about Aditya. I've never seen him lose his cool.”
