[Yami Gautam Dhar @yamigautam]

Every journey has a moment that reminds you why you never gave up. Today is that moment for me.
Receiving the National Award for Article 370 is an honour I will cherish for the rest of my life.

For fourteen years, I have simply tried to stay true to my craft, work with honesty and let my performances speak for themselves. This honour feels like the culmination of a journey filled with hope, perseverance, resilience and an unwavering love for cinema. It is a dream I have carried in my heart for years and today, I receive it with immense gratitude and humility.
Article 370 was never just another film for me. It was a story I deeply believed in. The fact that it was our home production makes this recognition even more emotional and personal. Every challenge, every conversation and every day on set was driven by one shared purpose, to tell this story with honesty and conviction.
My heartfelt gratitude to the Honourable Jury for this incredible recognition, to our visionary director, our phenomenal cast and crew and to every member of the audience who embraced Article 370 with such love and belief. You reminded us that meaningful stories will always find their way to people's hearts.
To my family, my team, my well-wishers and everyone who believed in me through every high and every low, thank you. Your faith gave me the strength to keep moving forward, even when the destination seemed far away.

This award is not the end of a dream, it is the beginning of a greater responsibility. To keep growing, to keep taking risks and to keep telling stories that matter.
Dreams do come true but only when passion refuses to give up. This one's for every dreamer who is still waiting for their moment.
Never stop believing. 🙏

[Yami Gautam Dhar @yamigautam]

Thank you so much, Sir. Your words truly mean a lot to me. The journey has indeed been the greatest teacher and I'm deeply grateful for your encouragement and generosity. Here's to continuing to learn, grow and stay true to the craft. 🙏

[Ram Gopal Varma @RGVzoomin]

Hey @yamigautam , i don’t and never believed in the concept of awards, but I do believe in the power of recognition especially when it comes from many years of sincerity along with an unwavering commitment to one’s craft.
What makes it even more special is that this honour has come for a film that was not merely a project for you, but a story you deeply believed in and hence you brought to the screen with so much conviction.

The National Award could certainly feel like an incredible honour to you , but I am personally more impressed with the journey that led you to it ..the struggles, the perseverance, the risks, the faith and the refusal to give up , is what gradually built it up brick by brick towards this moment of the final construction and I am sure there will be many more buildings to come 🙏

Thank you, sir 🙏🏻
This means a lot

[Rakesh Misra @notesbyrm]

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

I agree, especially in the case of the enclosed pictures, which show an actor's quiet journey from being part of a cast to being “the cast.”

Keep shining, @yamigautam ✨

[Yami Gautam Dhar @yamigautam]

It has come to my notice that I apparently ‘liked’ a reel that is condescending toward another actor. We get tagged in multiple things every day, and this appeared during an award-function reference like any other tag. It isn’t true and was definitely not done consciously, if anything, it may have been clicked accidentally.

Never in my life have I resorted to cheap PR tactics. I have always focused on my work and moved on.

In the world of clickbait, it’s tempting for even dignified social media portals to harp on this and turn it into coffee-table gossip. But I would hope they would consider that I have earned a better reputation than that.

I have no PR team, have respectfully cleared my stance on entertainment award shows long ago, and remain focused on my work. 🙏🏻

Thank you for your kind words & perspective , Neelesh Sir 🙏🏻🌹

[Neelesh Misra @neeleshmisra]

Yami Gautam Dhar standing with her bare craft before the camera, in closeups that dare her — no camera angles to protect her, just long powerful evocative scenes delivered like a wounded queen.
What a film, Haq.
Defenceless and yet all powerful, portraying the pain of a helpless woman and transferring it to us the audience, looking directly into her camera and taking it on. It was one of the most powerful and felt performances I have seen by a male or female actor in a long time.
After Dhurandhar, many in the film industry who had never given Yami the place and roles she deserved, suddenly started seeing her in a new light by association because of her husband, the prodigy @AdityaDharFilms … that’s the greatest injustice to her as an artiste.
She stands as her own person, and stands tall.
Thank you, @yamigautam #EmraanHashmi and most importantly director @Suparn Varma and writer @ReshuNath who take on this subject and deliver this powerful film.

[Yami Gautam Dhar @yamigautam]

Thank you ! Grateful 🙏🏻

[RapperPandit @RapperPandit]

🚨Presenting to you just 1 minute of Watershed moment . I have rarely seen such powerful performance !

The way @yamigautam portrayed Shah Bano is exemplary. This Monologue is almost 10min Long in HAQ.. breathless !

P.S. This is not a PT. I never do ❗️
