Bollywood actress Yami Gautam enjoys a cup of ‘chai’ in Leh with her father

Actress Yami Gautam recently shared a glimpse of her serene getaway in Leh with her fans on Instagram. Posting a photo of herself holding a cup of tea against the backdrop of the rugged mountains, she captioned it as, “The feeling of sipping chai while nestled in the lap of mighty mountains, terrain of Leh, by my papa dear, while he holds his cup of chai.

#beautifulLadakh, #allaboutchai lovers.” The post which quickly garnered thousands of likes, highlights Yami’s love for travel and simple joys like sharing tea with her father. Yami, who began her career as a model, made her acting debut on television as the lead role in Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Kam.

She transitioned to Bollywood with her first screen appearance in Vicky Donor, which established her as a promising actor. Since then, she has been a part of several notable films like Kaabil, Bala, and A Thursday. Her performance in the 2019 blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike further cemented her reputation as a bank star. On the personal front, Yami is married to filmmaker Aditya Dhar, known for directing Uri. Their wedding was a low key affair and complete intimate with only family and close friends in attendance.

The couple recently welcomed their first child, a baby boy, in May 2024. Aditya and Yami are one of the most classy and graceful couples of Bollywood and are extremely down to earth. With Yami’s career spanning television, critically acclaimed films, and mainstream hits, Yami Gautam continues to remain one of the most hostile actors in the industry while balancing her personal and professional life peacefully.

The actress originally belongs to Himachal Pradesh but was born in Bilaspur and raised in Chandigarh. She came to Mumbai to fulfill her dream of making it big in the world of entertainment.

Yami Gautam was born in a Brahmin family in Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh and was brought up in Chandigarh. Her father Mukesh Gautam is a Punjabi film director. He is the VP of PTC Network. Her mother is Anjali Gautam. She has a younger sister Surilie Gautam, who made her big screen debut with the Punjabi film Power Cut. She also has a younger brother, Ojas Gautam.

Yami Gautam did her regular schooling, and later entered college to pursue a graduate degree in law honours. She had aspired to join Indian Administrative Service (IAS) as a young girl, but at the age of 20, she decided to venture into an acting career. Though she was pursuing studies in Law Honors (first-year PU Student of law), she left full-time studies for acting. Recently, she has been doing her part-time graduation from Mumbai. She is fond of reading, interior decoration and listening to music.
