Yami Gautam opens up on her life post Vicky Donor’s Success.

Even though Yami Gautam's maiden movie Vicky Donor was commercially successful, the actor, who was a known model before that, took some time to find her footing in the industry. 

After a string of hits and misses, she finally had a major career turnaround in 2019 when two of her films, Uri- The Surgical Strike and Bala, won her acclaim and box office glory.  But Much before Yami Gautam found her groove again–regarding the kind of work she wants to do– the actor battled a phase when she was looking to merely survive.

Quoting to a leading media portal Yami said, "You realise as you gain experience and work in the industry that anyone—whether you had a successful first film or not—will take time to get a hold of this industry. There’s no other way, especially for someone with my kind of background. Especially when you come with a certain perspective— you don’t want to just work, you want to do good work… The whole idea is that you’ve to survive, be patient, you’ve to keep working on your perspective- what is it that you want to do? What’s the kind of legacy you want, the kind of work you want to do. It’s important to ask yourself relevant questions.”

She added ,”Uri and Bala, resurrected my career, gave me a whole new platform to voice my choices, the kind of films I want to associate with. To restart my journey on that path is the biggest difference today.

On the work front Yami will soon be seen OMG 2, with Akshay Kumar.
