Yami Gautam Discusses Changing Face of Bollywood for Moms in Film. Yami Gautam Dhar returned to work in September 2024, just four months after welcoming her baby, Vedavid. Now, The Article 370 actress is gearing up to promote her upcoming film, Dhoom Dhaam. Yami shared that she received numerous role offers over the past year, highlighting a significant shift in the industry. The actress candidly discussed the positive changes she has been witnessing in the industry through the decades and revealed the open opportunity for married actresses and get work after having a baby. Let’s take a look at Yami’s candid revelations.
In a recent interview, Yami Gautam is currently promoting her upcoming film. As a part of promotions “We have come a long way. I do think about this… we are so fortunate to have reached a stage like this. A lot of work has gone into it. Imagine there was a time, not just for actresses, but even for actors to maybe not disclose their marriage because of a certain image. Of course, it was there to a greater extent for an actress.” She also added, “If you want to have a family… someone very senior once told me ‘your biological clock is always in contradiction with your career clock’… I can’t even imagine, that time was so different, and I am sure creatively so restricted.”
In the same interview, the Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga actress addressed the need to give space for female actors to decide for themselves. Yami Gautham Dhar said, “It should be your choice whether you want to work or don’t want to work after getting married or starting a family, that’s the kind of environment needed. If an actress wants to work after having a baby, she should be absolutely free. Having said that, what I am seeing is that it also depends on the kind of filmography you create for yourself. Longevity is the key. The road to that is doing consistent substantial work.” This new mama Yami will next be seen in Dhoom Dhaam along with Pratik Gandhi. The film is all set to premiere On Netflix from 14th Febrauary 2025 coinciding with Valentines day.
