Yami Gautam is gearing up for her upcoming release Dasvi alongside Abhishek Bachchan and Nimrat Kaur. The Tushar Jalota directorial is a social comedy-drama that is set to release on Netflix soon. Talking about her experience during the shoot of the film, the Vicky Donar actress shared a heart-wrenching story of an inmate from Agra jail.

In a recent chat with IndiaToday.in, the actress mentioned that the story of an inmate from the Agra jail stayed with her. She further said that this person sent a register for her autograph, which had a lot of things written inside it and also had a picture of his daughter. This inmate had also written a few notes for his teenage daughter in order to let her know what she needs to in order to become an IAS officer or a banker and so on. "Of course, that has happened at the library. I am sure that’s where he had gathered all the information so that we never know what somebody’s story is and you know what’s happening in someone’s life," Yami added.
