Yami Gautam says National Award win brings added responsibility
The Story in Brief
Yami Gautam has said winning the National Film Award for Best Actress for ‘Article 370’ has added a sense of responsibility as an actor. Speaking at the trailer launch of her upcoming film ‘Nayyi Navelli’ in Mumbai on Wednesday, 30 September, she said she would be lying if she claimed nothing had changed. ‘I do feel that sense of responsibility even more,’ she said, adding that she will try to be more diverse and work harder.
When asked by Bollywood Hungama whether she was now aiming for an Oscar, Yami replied, ‘Aapke sapne sirf aapko pata hone chahiye’ (only you should know your dreams), and said she believes in letting her work speak. The Times of India, Hindustan Times and News9 report she also said her feet remain on the ground and that humility matters more than success. ‘Nayyi Navelli’ releases in cinemas on 16 October.

It also includes producer Aanand L Rai's remarks on breaking regional barriers in the film industry. The release date of 16 October is unchanged.
