Yami Gautam has spoken about her bond with Kangana Ranaut, stating that ‘anyone who treats you with respect and love must be embraced back’. In a recent interview, Yami called Kangana a ‘fantastic actress’ and ‘one of the best we have’. The actor also said Kangana invited her to her Manali house while shooting in the town.
Even though the two have never performed together, they have interacted on social media in the past. Both Yami and Kangana hail from Himachal Pradesh. After Yami declared her wedding with director Aditya Dhar in 2021, Kangana commented on her social media post, saying, “Older than tradition and time. Nothing more divine than a raw mountain girl turned bride #himachalpradesh.”
In a recent interview with DNA, Yami was asked about her equation with Kangana. The Uri actor opened up about how their bond grew after Kangana’s tweet wishing her her wedding a few years ago. “I think it comes from the fact that we hail from the same state, and of course, she is a fantastic actress. She is one of the best we have. For me, the first way of respect will always be work, whether it is Kangana, Vidya, or so many other actresses.
And then the fact that she wished me my wedding,” shared Yami. Yami also shared that the two have never interacted casually but came quite close to a meeting recently after Kangana invited Yami to her home in Manali. “We were shooting for Chor (Chor Nikal Ke Bhaaga) in Manali. It was a two-day shoot, and my mommy was with me.
She messaged me sweetly to visit her house, but we couldn’t because of fluctuating shoot hours. It’s just mutual respect, and anyone who treats you with respect and love must be embraced. Looking forward to her next film and subsequent work because her work speaks for itself,” shared the actor.
