What is the legacy for Yami?
The actress wrote, 'If I can say how happy and emotional my heart was at this time. My father Shri Mukesh Gautam winning the National Award is a true testimony to the fact that to stand the test of time and achieve something, you do not need anyone else but your inner voice. My father's work ethic, passion for work and honesty in life are his greatest assets and the most important legacy for his children. From my best guiding voice – whether it was giving clear instructions for my first train journey or some of his memorable experiences during a commute to work, his frustrations, his ability to find joy in everything he did and no matter the situation. No matter how difficult it is, the ability to just give your best.
Father never recommended Yami
The actress further wrote, 'My father never recommended me to anyone because he made it clear that it would be my own journey – full of difficulties just like him, but in the end if I stay strong and work on my art. Will choose. Only then will I get the best results of my hard work. He always stood by me and my siblings and protected us like a father. So here's celebrating MG sir, as my camera-phobic father now prefers to be addressed by his grandchildren.
