Your work should do the talking: Yami Gautam
Actor Yami Gautam (left) might not have made it to the list of A-list actors, but she feels getting good work and hard work is all that counts. “In all these years, I’ve understood one thing that it’s only your work that should do the talking. My mantra is simple — work gets you work and good work gets you good work,” says Yami who starred opposite actor Hrithik Roshan in her latest release, Kaabil.
Ask her if there’s ever been a point where audiences’ views on her career graph and choices of roles have affected her, the actor says, “It has never affected me in a negative way. I’d rather thank these people because they’re investing their time in thinking about me, which is really nice. That’s what an actor’s life is all about.”
Yami never considered herself to be an outsider because she feels that would be unfair on her part. “The moment you think like that, it becomes an excuse for you to put yourself, with your hands, in a different bracket. Why to do that? That’s for others to do, if at all they want to do so,” she says. The actor admits she went through a rough patch, when her films didn’t do well at the box office. “During that time, I realised that the day you happily start to embrace your present, not just accept it, then magic happens. And for me, it was signing Kaabil.”
