Actor Yami Gautam is ready to take on the biggest role of her life: motherhood. Amid heavy speculations, Yami and husband, filmmaker Aditya Dhar on Thursday confirmed that she is five-and-a-half-months pregnant at the trailer launch event of her upcoming film, Article 370.
Speaking about her pregnancy, Aditya Dhar said, “This film is a family affair. My brother was there, my wife was there and there is a baby on its way. It was an amazing time, the way the film happened, the way we got to know about the baby.”

Yami also spoke about her pregnancy and the experience of shooting while pregnant. “It was mentally draining. I could write thesis on it. There are so many questions, the firsts are always challenging. If you ask me about motherhood and everything coming together, I really don’t know what I would have done had Aditya not been there by my side, and Lokesh bhaiyaa, everybody….
“There was a rigorous training that was involved for the film. You want to be cautious, careful and I am thankful to all the doctors who were supervising this secretly. We were mostly left with the talking portions (by the time I was expecting a baby) so we could manage. But this felt surreal, because the baby was also a part of it. Some of the inspiration also came from how I saw my mother work her way through,” she said.
Yami and Aditya got married in June 2021 after dating each other for over two years. They met on the sets of Uri: The Surgical Strike, which starred Yami in a lead role and was helmed by Aditya.
Set against the backdrop of Article 370, the film is directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale and is headlined by Yami Gautam and Priyamani. It is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar and his brother Lokesh Dhar.
Billed as a film that would give a deep dive into the “confidential chain of events” that led to the unprecedented outcome of rendering Article 370 ineffective, the action packed political thriller is gearing to release in cinemas worldwide on February 23. Yami Gautam was last seen in Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi-starrer OMG 2.
