Yami Gautam Reflects on Youth, Mistakes, and the Cost of Fame
Yami Gautam, currently starring in the film Dhoom Dhaam, recently expressed her thoughts on the impact of early fame and success through her social media platforms. She shared a profound video clip on her Instagram Story featuring renowned fashion editor Anna Wintour, who emphasized the importance of making mistakes during one’s youth as a key component of personal growth.
In the video, Wintour articulated the challenges associated with achieving success too soon, stating, “Being so successful at an early age is very destructive. I think from the late teens until you’re in your early 30s, that’s the time for experimentation and trying things out and making lots of mistakes and learning from those mistakes.”
Wintour further elaborated that the relentless pursuit of celebrity status can hinder one’s happiness and long-term career success. She noted, “You will be happier and more successful and have more longevity in your career and possibly your relationships if you use your earlier years to find your way.” This perspective resonates with many in the entertainment industry who have experienced the pressures of early fame.
Coinciding with this reflective moment, Gautam’s comedy-adventure film Dhoom Dhaam, co-starring Pratik Gandhi, premiered on Netflix on February 14. Directed by Rishab Seth, the storyline revolves around a newlywed couple thrust into chaos on their wedding night due to mistaken identity. The film has garnered attention, with acclaimed director Hansal Mehta calling it a “total riot” in an early review.
Additionally, a poignant monologue delivered by Yami in Dhoom Dhaam has resonated widely across social media, addressing the myriad challenges women encounter daily, from harassment to societal expectations surrounding marriage and motherhood.
In discussing the impact of her speech, Yami shared with News18 Showsha, “As women, some of us can relate to it, even if it’s only two words from the speech. You will connect with it. It’s an amalgamation of trying to keep all of those emotions in control while also hearing as many viewpoints as possible and combining them.” As of now, Yami has not disclosed her next project, leaving audiences eager for her forthcoming endeavors.
