5 Years Of Bala: When Yami Gautam revealed receiving ‘most special message’ from Janhvi Kapoor, shared Ayushmann Khurrana starrer's connection with Sridevi

As a devoted admirer of Indian cinema, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of respect and admiration for actresses like Yami Gautam who not only excel in their craft but also pay tribute to the legends that came before them. Yami’s heartfelt connection with the late Sridevi, as evident in her portrayal of Bala, is a testament to the timeless influence these icons continue to have on our industry.


On this special occasion of Bala’s 5th anniversary, I can’t help but reminisce about a heartfelt moment shared by the talented Yami Gautam regarding our beloved film. During an intriguing interview, she divulged a touching correspondence from none other than Janhvi Kapoor – a connection she described as ‘greatly sentimental.’

In an interview with Latestly, Yami Gautam spoke about the impact of Sridevi on her career, sharing that filming Bala brought back memories of Sridevi’s timeless roles. She commented on how few women-centric comedy roles are available today and expressed admiration for Sridevi as a true inspiration.

She was impressed by Sridevi’s ability to seamlessly combine comedic elements in Chaalbaaz with the deep emotions portrayed in Sadma.

The actress expressed that when she began working on Bala, it turned out to be the role opposite Sri ma’am amidst her legendary performances. She mentioned that there are not many comedy roles for women nowadays. However, it was Sri ma’am and other actresses at the time who served as a significant inspiration for her. Sridevi ma’am was an icon in such roles, able to excel in films like Chaalbaaz as well as Sadma. Her comedic performances were genuinely enjoyable.

Yami additionally disclosed that a message from Janhvi created a heartfelt bond, making it among the most treasured messages she’s ever received. “To be honest, when I got a message from Janhvi, it was deeply emotional for me because of its sentimental value and the fact that it came from her. That’s why it was one of the most memorable messages for me,” she expressed.

In addition to Ayushmann Khurrana, Yami Gautam, Bhumi Pednekar, the movie also stars Jaaved Jaffrey, Saurabh Shukla, Seema Pahwa, along with others. The film delves into a distinctive theme, exploring thought-provoking topics such as baldness, complexion, and personal value.

As an ardent admirer, let me express my thoughts about Ayushmann’s captivating portrayal of Balmukund Shukla, or Bala, a man in his twenties grappling with premature baldness. In my professional life, I’ve witnessed the humiliation he endures, particularly when he’s tasked with marketing fairness creams aimed at women with darker complexions. His predicament deepens as traditional remedies fail to restore his mane, leading him to adopt a wig in an attempt to win a girl’s heart.

In terms of work, the last appearance made by Yami Gautam was in the movie titled Article 370, which happens to be helmed by her spouse, Aditya Dhar.

In their personal life, Yami and Aditya Dhar, who tied the knot in a quiet wedding ceremony back in 2021, welcomed their firstborn child, a baby boy named Vedavid, in May 2024. They announced this happy news on various social media platforms.
