A fresh controversy is brewing in Bollywood, catching the attention of even our cinema-savvy South Indian audience.

Was it a genuine slip or a subtle dig amid claims Yami deserved the Best Actress award for her film ‘Haq’?
Award Backlash: Yami’s Viral ‘Like’
A new controversy has erupted in Bollywood, with news spreading like wildfire that Yami Gautam acted disrespectfully towards Kriti Sanon. The drama unfolded on social media following Kriti Sanon’s recent win for Best Actress at the ‘Zee Cine Awards’ ceremony. While Sanon was honored for her performance in ‘Tere Ishq Mein’, a section of netizens believed Yami Gautam was more deserving for her film ‘Haq’.
A huge uproar was created online when Yami Gautam liked a video criticizing Kriti’s win. The viral Instagram video downplayed Kriti Sanon’s achievement, incorporating an old interview clip where Yami had stated, “Getting an award doesn’t mean you’re a good actress… I don’t seek anyone’s recognition.” This ‘like’ led to immediate criticism, with many accusing Yami of jealousy.
Compelled to provide clarification, Yami addressed the controversy, asserting that her ‘like’ was accidental. “It has come to my attention that I liked a video that disparages an actress,” she explained. “We are tagged in hundreds of posts every day. It must have been an accidental click on that video amidst the hustle and bustle of the award function, and certainly not intentional.”
Yami Explains: Just an Accidental Click
Yami sharply responded to further criticism, emphasizing her professional integrity: “In my career, I have never used such cheap PR tactics. I don’t even have a PR team. I have long ago stated my opinion on awards. I only focus on my work. Don’t believe the gossip circulating on social media; I hope I have a better reputation than that.” She further requested that fans “not to create discord between respectable actresses for clickbait news.”
Meanwhile, public reaction to the controversy has been mixed, with some netizens supporting Yami and others criticizing her behavior. Many have commented that both Kriti and Yami are talented, and that awards, regardless of the recipient, should be respected. With Yami Gautam’s detailed explanation, it appears this particular controversy has drawn to a close, though netizens continue to express their opinions on the matter. Stay tuned for more updates.
Looking Ahead
This clarified controversy reminds our cinema that mutual respect and true talent prevail. Both Yami and Kriti exemplify dedication transcending fleeting online debates. We eagerly anticipate their future works, confident genuine artistry always earns rightful applause. The show, indeed, continues.
