On a Sunday morning, a dedicated fan took to X to share a review of Yami Gautam’s performance in OMG 2. The tweet read, “It’s amazing how each and every time @yamigautam manages to SURPRISE us with her performance! #OMG2 is no exception. She owns each and every frame she’s in! Even her silence speaks a lot. I hate the term ‘underrated’. I’d just say she’s under-utilised by our filmmakers.”

Yami Gautam took the opportunity to respond to these kind words, offering an insight into her approach to her craft. In her reply, she expounded on her skill in recognizing compelling scripts and versatile characters. Her response conveyed, “Some people find success overnight, some people have to prove themselves persistently for years. Some people are great at marketing their talent (or lack of it), some people only want their talent to speak.”

She further added, “As an actor I just know how to act and work exceptionally hard on identifying good scripts and versatile characters, that’s my talent. I don’t understand or get involved much with marketing of my talent. Unfortunately, for majority of our industry everything relies on marketing of a person or project and not on the depth of a script or character. May be that’s the reason why people feel I am under-utilised. Anyways, Thanks so much Aavishkar for your kind words, it’s truly very encouraging. I will get there eventually, slowly but steadily, one film at a time.”
