Actress Yami Gautam celebrated Independence Day this year with a strong gesture, honouring the Indian Army at Leh’s Hall of Fame. With her husband, director Aditya Dhar, Yami called the experience her “best Independence Day ever,” echoing the very patriotic spirit of the day.
The actress posted a picture on Instagram, standing next to Aditya on the background of the country’s famous war memorial. Wearing comfortable yet sophisticated clothes, the couple exuded respect and humility. Yami captioned her post as follows: “Best Independence Day Celebration… Ever! Jai Hind! ???????? Hall Of Fame, Leh #ThankYouIndianArmy,” paying respect to Indian soldiers’ courage and sacrifice.
A Deeply Personal and Patriotic Gesture
The Hall of Honour, constructed by the Indian Army, honours the courage of soldiers, especially from the Indo-Pak wars. For Yami, who is famous for her love for the armed forces, the visit was symbolic — it was personal.
Her latest turn in Article 370, a suspenseful political thriller, was praised for its robust treatment of national security subject matter. Aditya Dhar, meanwhile, the director of blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike, has been involved with India’s military-hailing films for years. The couple’s steady work in patriotic storytelling made this on-screen tribute even more apt.
Abhishek Banerjee Puts a Fun Spin on the Day
Adding a lighter touch to the celebrations, Stree 2 actor Abhishek Banerjee shared a humorous Independence Day post featuring “Sarkata,” the headless ghost from the horror-comedy. “Happy Independence Day guyss !! ???????? Kuch yaad aaya ? #1yearofstree2,” he wrote, delighting fans with his quirky spirit.
Yami’s Recent Work Continues to Shine
On the work front, Yami last appeared in Dhoom Dhaam, directed by Rishab Seth and produced by Aditya Dhar. The film, released on Netflix on February 14, became a hit, becoming the third most-watched title of the year on the platform.
