Yami Gautam credits husband Aditya Dhar and son Vedavid for inspiring her National Award win for ‘Article 370’, expressing gratitude for their support, her artistic journey, struggles, prayers and the honour she will cherish throughout her life.
Actress Yami Gautam has credited her husband, filmmaker Aditya Dhar, and their son, Vedavid, for inspiring and supporting her during her journey to winning the National Award for her performance in Article 370. The actress expressed her gratitude in an emotional note shared on her official Instagram account.
Reflecting on the honour, Yami Gautam spoke about the years of hard work, patience and hope that eventually led her to the moment of receiving the National Award. She described the recognition as a deeply meaningful achievement and said her gratitude extends beyond the award itself to everyone and everything that contributed to her journey as an artist.
In her Instagram post, Yami wrote about the importance of continuing to work hard and believing that an opportunity would eventually arrive. She said that artists often continue to show up, hold on to hope and wait for a chance to express themselves in the way they have always imagined.
“Today, as I hold this National Award, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude,” Yami said, reflecting on the recognition. She added that her gratitude was also for the people who believed in her, as well as the lessons, struggles, prayers and experiences that shaped her journey.
The actress particularly highlighted the role of her son, Vedavid, in giving her strength during the making of Article 370. According to Yami, Vedavid was with her during the film’s making even before he was born. She said that his presence gave her the courage to continue when she needed strength the most.
Yami also expressed heartfelt appreciation for her husband, Aditya Dhar, whom she described as a constant source of inspiration. She said Aditya has stood beside her through different chapters of her life, celebrated her dreams as his own and continued to believe in her even during moments when she doubted herself.
The actress said receiving the National Award made her proud not only as an artist but also as a woman, mother and wife. She described sharing the special moment with Aditya as particularly meaningful and expressed happiness at having him by her side.
Yami Gautam’s recognition for Article 370 marks an important milestone in her acting career. In her message, however, she focused less on the award itself and more on the people, experiences and perseverance that she believes helped her reach the moment.
Concluding her note, Yami encouraged others to continue working, believing and showing up with hope. She said that opportunities can eventually arrive after years of persistence and thanked the National Film Awards for an honour she would cherish for a lifetime.
