Yami Gautam is one of those Bollywood actresses who decided to get married when she was at the peak of her career. Yes, being a woman does not stop a person from continuing to work even after marriage. And Yami proves this point very clearly.
With films like Lost, A Thursday, Dasvi, OMG2 under her belt, Yami is the perfect example of woman empowerment and the need for a woman to challenge herself in both the personal and professional arenas and excel in both of them.
A report on outlookindia.com had a conversation of Yami Gautam where she maintained that her career has just started, and she has a long way to go, and that marriage cannot pull her down or curb her from bagging good roles. We take reference from that story for ours here.
As we know, Yami married filmmaker Aditya Dhar earlier this year.
Talking about the reservations around an actress’s career graph, Gautam tells us, “I am sure that there must be certain incidents or certain times when once you are married, especially for actresses, there is limited time and people say that ‘this is the time you have and then the perception changes’ or ‘your audience that adores you experience a shift after you get married’. I am talking for the majority and not with certain exceptions. There is a certain perception when it comes to this industry (Bollywood). It must be true for the majority of the part in our industry but again I think one of the most positive changes are happening right now.”
“In the West, I don’t think they bother about age, age group or if they have a child onscreen. There are such phenomenal actresses who have just been working and working and giving some of the most stunning and inspiring performances because they are free from any fear, any inhibition, any shackle , perspective or thinking that ‘oh this is something that I can’t do even if I want to’,” she says.
Truly well said, Yami!!
