The One Thing Yami Will Never Do

'I will never do anything to titillate the audience.'

Right from her debut in Vicky Donor 11 years ago, Yami Gautam has proved that she is an actor of substance.

She made a dent in Bollywood with an interesting array of characters backed by strong performances.

The secret sauce to her success is nothing but her faith in the script.

“I won’t do anything which is ordinary or for more money,” Yami tells “Of course, I understand it’s showbiz and we all want to make money, but that will never be my priority.”

OMG 2 is your first theatrical release after four years.

My last theatrical performance was in 2019 with the mighty Uri: The Surgical Strike and the very special Bala. Got my husband also (Laughs).

A lot of things changed when COVID-19 happened, but life goes on.

During the pandemic, I was still in touch with my audience through OTT with some really good releases.

What makes this character so special?

I play a lawyer named Kamini. She is bold, poised, resilient and today’s woman.

She is the only woman standing in court, and talking and arguing about sex education. She is on the other side of the argument.

It can sound wrong, but actually, in the context of the film, it is completely different.
