Yami Gautam Dhar has had a tremendous start to 2022 with two diverse, amazing and highly successful roles in just the first quarter of the year. First it was the intense and impactful portrayal of a kindergarten teacher who kidnaps her students in A Thursday and then she took a complete 180 degree turn as she played an upright yet sensitive cop in Dasvi. Both these roles made me love and admire her even more and have raised my expectations from the actress.
Playing a cop wouldn’t have been easy for Yami as being in uniform requires a certain discipline and stance which is not easy for everyone to get. But the actress did it so efficiently. Although, even she had admitted that people doubted her capability to play a cop on screen since she is so petite and soft in real life but she proved all the naysayers wrong.
A special moment took place for Yami recently as the reel life IPS from Dasvi met her inspiration and the real-life lieutenant Dr. Kiran Bedi. The actress made an appearance at the Goa festival where she met some prominent personalities including the former lieutenant governor of Puducherry. And Yami couldn’t contain her excitement at meeting her idol and shared a heartfelt note on social media.
Check out her post:
She wrote,
“My fangirl moment with one of my strongest inspirations since I was a little girl growing up in Chandigarh! I shall never forget how an already well-planned city transformed further for the best, when ma’am got posted there! Door-to-door cops used to visit every home & ensure our safety! Strict night patrolling was introduced even in the most remotest part of the city! It was truly an honour meeting Dr. Bedi yesterday at @goafestival.”
This is how Dr Bedi responded:
The excitement and admiration that Yami has for Dr. Kiran Bedi is so visible in her eyes in the picture and I am so glad that she got this chance to meet her after having done such a fabulous job as an IPS officer on screen. Up next, Yami has an exciting slate coming up with Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury’s Lost, OMG2 with Akshay Kumar & Pankaj Tripathi, Dhoom Dhaam with Pratik Gandhi and a few more unannounced projects. And after the start she has had to 2022, my expectations are sky high from these projects.
