industry. She has been big on the OTT circuit and her latest is Netflix’s Abhay Deol starrer What Are The Odds.
While the web show has been garnering praises from almost all quarters, nothing goes past without some amount of dissent. Recently, actor Abhay Deol, took to his Instagram account and posted a clip from the web film and alluded to a dialogue that Dayama says in the clip, ’40-year olds date teenagers all the time”. And wrote ‘No Lolita For Val’. This remark brought in scores of negative messages on the actor’s social media profile.
Take a look at the post -
We exclusively got in touch with Yashaswini to understand what it was according to her and whether the reference to the dialogue in the web film to Vladimir Nabokov’s novel ‘Lolita’ (which was later adapted into films) was accurate or not.
For the uninitiated, Lolita tells the story of a middle-aged professor who falls in love with the 14 year old daughter of his landlady.
However, Dayama apparently, didn’t seem to have a clue about the social media occurrence. She was clever to put it on Abhay’s shoulders, “I actually don't know the reference. Abhay would be the best person to answer.” Quipped she.
However, the actress went on to state that a relationship between a teenager and a forty-year-old is not right. “but I genuinely think all of us know that in relationship age doesn't matter when love is correct but a 15-year-old dating a 40-year-old is not correct.” She told us.
She further went on to clarify how things were handled beautifully in the narrative and followed it quickly with a brief tinge of ignorance about Abhay’s message, “We made it very clear in that film as well, Abhay’s character Val like so graciously puts Vivek down from what she was trying to do and not letting her feel embarrassed in relatively anyway and it speaks so well about this character where he knew it could, somewhere deeply affect her in her growing and he was responsible enough to treat it gently, and again about his comment I would really don't know.”
