ByErnest Goodrum November 4, 2025

Yami Gautam shares insights on her awards journey.

In recent years, Yami Gautam has risen to prominence as one of the leading actresses in Bollywood. With notable roles in films like *Article 370* and *A Thursday*, she has garnered numerous nominations for prestigious awards. Despite being recognized, she has yet to secure a major win, a fact she addressed in a recent interview.

Yami Gautam reflects on her career and validation.

Insights on Film Awards

While promoting her upcoming film, *Haq*, Yami delved into her perspective on awards during an interview with *The Hollywood Reporter India*. When questioned about her feelings toward being nominated without winning, she expressed that it doesn’t bother her. Drawing inspiration from the Bhagavad Gita, she stated, “As much as I have understood the Bhagwat Geeta, what Lord Krishna says to Arjun is true… I have stopped seeking validation from anyone.”

Yami’s breakthrough role in *Vicky Donor* earned her accolades; however, awards like the Filmfare and IIFA have eluded her since then. She emphasized valuing audience feedback over awards, saying, “If my audience loves me, what greater recognition can I ask for?”

Yami Gautam in Haq

Her latest venture, *Haq*, is a legal drama featuring Emraan Hashmi. The film, inspired by the Shah Bano case, portrays Yami as a Muslim woman challenging the legal system in pursuit of her rights post-divorce, set to debut on November 7.
