Yami
Gautam's
performance
in
Bala
was
snubbed
at
the
Filmfare
awards
this
year.
The
actor
did
not
even
receive
a
nomination
for
it,
which
surprised
many
people.
In
response
to
the
numerous
messages
she
has
been
receiving
for
her
performance
getting
'overlooked'
at
the
awards,
Yami
made
a
statement
on
social
media.
Yami
started
off
her
statement
writing
that
she
felt
compelled
to
express
her
views
on
the
matter.
"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
wrote.
She
continued
that
such
experiences
only
make
her
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," she
wrote.
Yami
signed
off
writing,
"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."
Celebrities
like
her
Bala
co-star
Ayushmann
Khurrana,
his
wife
Tahira
Kashyap,
and
Vikrant
Massey
sent
positivity
her
way.
Ayushmann
commented,
"So
proud
YG," whereas
Tahira
wrote,
"Buddha
baby."
Vikrant
called
Yami
his
'favourtie
human'.
Bala
received
three
nominations
at
the
Filmfare;
Ayushmann
for
best
actor,
Seema
Pahwa
for
best
supporting
actress,
and
Niren
Bhatt
for
dialogues.
