Talking about her relationship with Kangana Ranaut, Yami Gautam said that “anyone who treats you with respect and love must be hugged back”. In a new interview, Yami called Kangana a “fantastic actress” and “one of the best we have”. The actor also said that Kangana invited her to her house in Manali when she was shooting in the city.
Both Kangana and Yami Gautam share a good equation and often praise each other on social media platforms. Both the actors hail from Himachal Pradesh. After Yami tied the knot with Aditya Dhar, Kangana shared a photo of Yami dressed as a bride and wrote on her Instagram Stories, “Older than tradition and time. There is nothing divine than a raw mountain girl becoming a bride #himachalpdesh.”
In an interview with DNA, Yami said, “I think it comes from the fact that we come from the same state and of course she’s a fantastic actress. She’s one of the best we have. For me, the first form of admiration will always be work, whether it’s it will be Kangana or Vidya (Vidya Balan) or so many other actresses. And then that she wished me for my wedding.”
Talking about how Kangana invited her to her home in Manali, Yami recalled, “We were shooting for Chor in Manali. It was a two-day shoot and my mom was with me. She very kindly messaged me to visit her at home, but we couldn’t due to irregular filming hours. It’s just mutual respect and I feel that anyone who treats you with respect and love needs to be hugged back. I look forward to her next film and her next work because her work speaks for itself.”
Yami was last seen in Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury’s Lost, in which she played an investigative reporter. The film received a mixed response from the audience. She will be next seen with Sunny Kaushal and Sharad Kelkar in Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga. The film will be released on streaming giant Netflix on March 24. It was directed by Ajay Singh.
Kangana has several projects in the pipeline. She completed the filming of Emergency in which she played the role of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film will mark her first solo directorial film. She is currently shooting for the Tamil film Chandramukhi 2 which is being directed by P Vasu.
She will also be seen in the film Tejas, in which she will be seen playing the role of an Indian Air Force pilot. The official release date of the film is still awaited. Kangana will also be seen in Manikarnika Returns: The Legend of Didda and The Incarnation: Sita in the coming months.
