Social media sleuths have turned a momentary thumb-up into a major Bollywood showdown between Yami Gautam and Kriti Sanon fans. At the heart of the uproar is Yami’s like on a post deeming her more worthy of the Best Actress award than Kriti, who clinched it for ‘Tere Ishk Mein.’ Yami wasted no time in setting the record straight.
The post in question juxtaposed the two actresses, fueling narratives of rivalry. Once Yami liked it, the internet exploded with divided loyalties and pointed fingers.
Taking to X, Yami shared her side with transparency. ‘Noticed I liked a reel perceived as offensive to a fellow artist,’ she began. ‘With constant tags, it blended into award show notifications. No intent whatsoever—likely a slip.’ She further asserted her independence: ‘No PR machinery here; I steer clear of dirty PR games.’
Yami’s forthrightness diffuses tension, shifting focus from fan fights to the realities of digital life for stars. It reminds us that behind every like lies a human prone to errors, not a calculated slight.
In Bollywood’s glittering yet cutthroat world, such incidents test the mettle of professionals. Yami emerges unscathed, her clarification fostering goodwill. As debates simmer down, the industry watches how this plays out in future award circuits.
