Actor Yami Gautam recently spoke about how she balances her professional life with motherhood. She shared that having a strong support system at home has made it possible for her to continue working after becoming a parent. She credited her parents for helping take care of her young son, Vedavid, especially when both she and her husband, Aditya Dhar, are busy with their work.
In a recent interview, she explained, “It’s because of the support system I have; it would have been difficult otherwise. We need help, there’s no denial in that, but we must acknowledge it, and when that help is given, there’s nobody else than your own family. I’m very grateful to my mother because that’s how I can do what I do.” She highlighted that managing both roles is not easy without reliable support at home.
Talking about parenting responsibilities, she said, “With a baby so young, even a set is not the right place, perhaps for a child. It’s literally your heart outside your body, and who do you trust with your heart when both parents are working? Right now, I’m working, and Aditya’s just had both the releases, so now he can be with Vedavid.” She pointed out that both parents take turns depending on their work schedules.
She also added, “Of course, our families are there, so we figure this out together. You can’t fully plan this, you have to go with the flow, keeping in mind that the biggest priority in life forever will be your child, your parents and your family.” Her comments reflect a practical approach to managing work and family life.
During the same conversation, she addressed whether success has changed her or her husband. Referring to the response to Dhurandhar, she said, “Nothing has changed us as people. That also comes from Aditya, and the kind of person he is, very unaffected and extremely humble. I’ve seen him through different phases.” She further shared, “There are highs and lows and vulnerable phases, but it’s not like during that phase we expressed our frustration or let it out. Both of us are extremely thankful to God, for us spirituality is very important, we believe in the Almighty. Good things happen to good people. What’s meant for you may be delayed but never denied.”
On the work front, Yami Gautam will next be seen in Nayyi Navelli, a horror comedy film that is expected to release in theatres before streaming later on Prime Video.
