Actress Yami Gautam Dhar has addressed recent social media speculation regarding her activity on Instagram. The Article 370 actress issued a formal clarification via her official X account after reports surfaced that she had liked a reel that was perceived as condescending toward a fellow actor. Yami clarified that the interaction was unintentional and occurred while navigating through multiple social media tags. In her statement, Yami Gautam Dhar emphasized that the like was likely an accidental click while she was tagged in posts referencing an award function. It has come to my notice that I apparently liked a reel that is condescending toward another actor, she stated. It isn't true and was definitely not done consciously; if anything, it may have been clicked accidentally. Beyond the clarification, the actress took the opportunity to reiterate her long-standing professional philosophy. Known for her outspoken nature regarding the inner workings of the film industry, Yami stated that she has never resorted to cheap PR tactics and remains focused strictly on her cinematic output.

In the past, the actress has been vocal about the lack of transparency in award selections, often choosing to distance herself from the ceremonial aspect of the industry in favor of performance-driven projects. The actress has seen a surge in critical and commercial success recently, particularly with the 2024 political thriller Article 370, which was a box-office success. She is also closely associated with the production house of her husband, director Aditya Dhar. Her clarification comes at a time when digital footprints are closely monitored by fans and industry analysts alike. By addressing the situation directly, Yami aims to protect her reputation for being a work-focused professional, urging social media portals to avoid turning accidental clicks into coffee-table gossip.
