    Yami Gautam Pens A Note On Being ‘Overlooked’ In Award Nominations For Bala Performance, Says Its A Long Journey Ahead

    Yami Gautam has always been steady person in the industry. She took baby steps and had started from the TV industry. She entered Bollywood with a bang with Vicky Donor and there had been no looking back. The actress has had her own shares of ups and downs, but last year had been amazing for her. She began the year with Uri: The Surgical Strike and rounded it off with a stellar performance in Bala. But she did not receive any nomination for her performance in Bala and this has left her quite disappointed, so much that she wrote a long note on it.

    Taking to Twitter, she shared a post where she has talked about her being overlooked for her performance in Bala. She wrote, “I feel compelled to express my views, in response to the countless messages that I have been receiving, for getting 'overlooked' and not being nominated for my performance in Bala. Honestly, winning an award does feel like a strong sense of achievement and confidence. But more than that, a nomination in itself, is a mark of acknowledgment, love and respect towards your hard work and talent. Having said that, the esteemed jury are some of the most noted and senior members of the fraternity who have made important contributions in cinema. Hence, I shall respectfully accept their perspectives.”


    She further continued and wrote, “In the end, I just want to say, these are just experiences which make you even more self assured and determined in life. It re-instates your faith, in the fact, that you don't need to seek validation for your work or yourself from anyone. The kind of love that I have received this year, from the industry, critics, media, my talented fellow contemporaries and most importantly YOU - my audience, for always showing unconditional love - selfless support, means the world to me and is enough to boost me to keep working harder. It doesn't matter where you come from, who you are, just don't ever give up and keep walking ahead. It's a long journey and I am a hustler, for life."
