Yami Gautam opens up about keeping her wedding a low-key, private affair

Bollywood actress Yami Gautam on June 4 surprised her fans by announcing her wedding with filmmaker Aditya Dhar. The two tied the nuptial knot in a small, intimate ceremony that took place at Gautam’s hometown in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh.

Actors usually opt for grand weddings, which usually see the attendance of thousands of guests. But Gautam and Dhar kept their wedding a low-key affair, away from the glare of cameras.


Talking about her decision of choosing a simple wedding, Gautam tells an Indian publication, “The more I attended big weddings, I knew I did not want that. Of course, we do not know the meaning of marriage early on, but going by my understanding and experience of attending weddings, I was sure about what I did not want. I am fortunate that both Aditya and I shared this thought.”

The actress goes on to add that they both are averse to the wastage that happens in weddings. “We both are averse to the wastage that happens in weddings — food, flower decorations and so many other things. Also, it is so difficult to make everyone happy, so why not get married among those who actually care about you. The focus was solely on the ceremony and not us trying to please anyone,” she adds.

Last seen in Ginny Weds Sunny, Yami Gautam is looking forward to the release of her next film Bhoot Police. Also starring Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Kapoor, and Jacqueline Fernandez in lead roles, the horror-comedy is set for its direct-to-digital premiere on September 17 on Disney+ Hotstar.

Her other upcoming projects include Tushar Jalota’s Dasvi with Abhishek Bachchan and Nimrat Kaur; Behzad Khambata’s A Thursday with Neha Dhupia, Atul Kulkarni, and Dimple Kapadia, and Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury’s suspense thriller Lost with Pankaj Kapur, Rahul Khanna, Neil Bhoopalam, Pia Bajpiee, and Tushar Pandey.

Akshay Kumar tells King Charles to watch Kesari 2: “You’ll know why the British should say sorry”

Akshay Kumar isn’t asking for an apology. He just wants the British to look back and really see what happened. With his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2 hitting screens on April 18, the actor is urging both the UK government and King Charles to watch the film and confront a dark chapter in colonial history.

The film, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and based on The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu and Pushpa Palat, tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a Malayali lawyer who took legal action against General Dyer and the British government after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The massacre when British troops opened fire on a peaceful crowd remains one of the most horrific events of British rule in India.

Ageing Icon or Fading Star? Salman Khan’s outdated onscreen avatar sparks criticism in yet another box-office debacle

Salman Khan is stuck in the past

There have been many instances across generations where once-popular leading men, unwilling to grow old gracefully, have clung to past glories so desperately that they have ended up dismantling their own legacies.

These ageing Bollywood idols continued romancing inappropriately young heroines, playing roles far removed from their real age, and starring in outdated movies where their presence mattered more than the storyline.
