For Yami Gautam, Bala is a very special film. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film also starred Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar. As Bala turned 4 today, November 8, Yami revealed her experience of working on the movie and why it's one of the most important films in her career. In the movie, Yami captivated audiences with her versatile performance as Pari Mishra, a lifestyle influencer.

Reflecting on the success of Bala and its anniversary, Yami Gautam shared her thoughts, saying, "It's been 4 years to the release of Bala today and I couldn't be more grateful for the love the film was showered with! What a year 2019 was… It was undoubtedly quite exciting to go from a film like 'URI' to embracing the comedy genre with Bala - all in one year! Both the films were not just successful but also good films!"

She further added, "I'm so grateful for this amazing journey that I'm on and I hope to keep doing great, fulfilling work that continues to resonate with the audiences. A heartfelt thank you to all those who have kept their faith in me."

Yami Gautam's dedication to her craft and the success of Bala stand as a testament to her versatility as an actress. Post the success of ‘Bala' and ‘URI: A Surgical Strike', the actress has seen a high in her career and has delivered back-to-back films like ‘A Thursday', ‘Lost', ‘Dasvi', ‘Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga' and the recently released, ‘OMG2'.

Continuing the trail of treating audiences with good content, Yami will be next seen in Dhoom Dhaam opposite Pratik Gandhi. She is currently shooting for an undisclosed project.

Earlier last month, it was reported that the actress is stationed in a north Indian town for 50 days for the shoot of her upcoming film, the details of which are currently under wraps. The actress is thrilled to be shooting in north India, as it's a place she has a deep fondness for due to its natural beauty and tranquillity, providing her with an escape from the bustling city life in Mumbai.

A source revealed, "Yami Gautam is shooting for her upcoming film in north India and will be filming there for the next 50 days. The project promises to be one that continues to showcase Yami's prowess as a performer and a formal announcement will be made soon."
