Mumbai: New mom Yami Gautam has opened up about balancing work and motherhood as she returned to fulfil her professional commitments.
The actor shared that her husband Aditya Dhar — currently basking in the massive success of ‘Dhurandhar’ — takes care of their son Vedavid .
Expressing gratitude for her strong support system, Yami highlighted how it has helped her ease back into work while managing her new role as a mother.
“It’s because of the support system I have; it would have been difficult otherwise. We need help, there’s no denial in that, but we must acknowledge it, and when that help is given, there’s nobody else than your own family. I’m very grateful to my mother because that’s how I can do what I do,” Yami told Grazia.
“With a baby so young, even a set is not the right place perhaps for a child. It’s literally your heart outside your body, and who do you trust with your heart w
hen both the parents are working. Right now, I’m working, and Aditya’s just had both the releases so now he can be with Vedavid. Of course, our families are there, so we figure this out together. You can’t fully plan this, you have to go with the flow, keeping in mind that the biggest priority in life forever will be your child, your parents and your family.”
Yami and Aditya first met on the sets of ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’ in 2019. Their professional association gradually grew into a close bond.
Keeping their relationship away from the public eye, the two surprised fans by announcing their wedding in 2021.
Yami and Aditya welcomed their son in 2024.
On the work front, Yami will next be seen in the horror-comedy ‘Nayyi Navelli’.
Sharing the film’s synopsis on Instagram, she posted, “A picture-perfect bride transforms a chaotic Meerut household into a slice of heaven…until her brother-in-law suspects that things may not be as perfect as they seem! The ideal bahu could very well be an evil force from an outer world!! Can this family survive her? #NayyiNavelli releasing at your nearest cinemas soon.”
Directed by Balaji Mohan and written by Himanshu Sharma and Divy Nidhi Sharma, the film is produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma under the banner of Colour Yellow Productions.
