Yami Gautam points the drawbacks in Bollywood: 'Some people find success overnight; majority rely on marketing a person in the industry’

Yami Gautam, a multi-talented star in Bollywood has expressed in detail the drawbacks of being a part of Bollywood. From mentioning that ‘some people find success overnight’ to confessing that ‘a majority of people rely on marketing a person in the industry’, 34-year-old Yami Gautam has taken a slight dig at prevailing nepotism in the industry.

Yami Gautam's tweet in detail

In a tweet today, Aavishkar – a Bollywood buff on X (formerly known as Twitter) – appreciated Yami Gautam’s performance in her recent theatrical OMG 2. “It’s amazing how each and every time @yamigautam manages to SURPRISE us with her performance! #OMG2 is no exception. She owns each and every frame she’s in! Even her silence speaks a lot. I hate the term ‘underrated’. I’d just say she’s under-utilized by our filmmakers,” wrote Aavishkar on X today.

Replying to this tweet, Yami Gautam penned a lengthy note about her experience in Bollywood and wrote, “Some people find success overnight, some people have to prove themselves persistently for years. Some people are great at marketing their talent (or lack of it), and some people only want their talent to speak.”

“As an actor, I just know how to act and work exceptionally hard on identifying good scripts and versatile characters, that’s my talent. I don’t understand or get involved much with the marketing of my talent. Unfortunately for the majority of our industry, everything relies on the marketing of a person or project and not on the depth of a script or character. Maybe that’s the reason why people feel I am under-utilized. Anyways, Thanks so much Aavishkar for your kind words, they’re truly very encouraging. I will get there eventually, slowly but steadily, one film at a time,” wrote Yami on X today.
