Yami Gautam Instagram – I consider Bala one of the most important films for me in my professional career. I still remember my first day on set. It was the scene where Pari finds out that ‘Mera pati Ganja hai’! My nervousness was directly proportional to @amarkaushik’s confidence in me. I questioned my director about why he wanted to start the shoot with such a challenging scene & not something far simpler but he asked me to trust him & go for it. And he was right, this was the first take & I just feel that was the moment that set the tone for Pari! And the journey ahead was one of only fun or as Amar said ‘chalo khelte hain’. It’s been 2 years since Bala and all these fond memories are etched in my heart. Working with a talented crew and cast – Amar, Dinesh, Ayushmann, Bhumi on one of the best-written scripts was an incredible journey and one of my most cherished moments. Special mention to; Sourabh sir, Seema ma’am, Javed Jaffery, and Abhishek Banerjee. This was an opportunity that came to me at a very crucial time in my life! Pari made me let go of all my inhibitions & allowed me to be free. Many were doubtful if I could pull off that role but it takes 1 person’s faith & conviction to change everything for you! I’ll always be grateful to Amar for this! This is a celebration not just for a film but for the joy of working on good scripts, beautifully created characters & amazing teamwork ❤️ #happy2yearsBala #Dino @nirenbhatt @pvijan @maddockfilms @ayushmannk @bhumipednekar @nowitsabhi #Seemapahwa #saurabhshukla @jaavedjaaferi @anujdhawan13 @abhishekkapur20 @sachinjigar @nehakamra_ & entire team 🙏🏻
