Yami Gautam has reached a major milestone in her acting career after winning her first National Film Award for Best Actress for her performance in Article 370. But while the prestigious honour was celebrated on a grand stage, the actress’ most emotional moments came at home with her family.
Yami’s sister Surilie Gautam recently shared a vlog capturing the family’s reaction to the actress’ achievement. The celebration included flowers, hugs, laughter and Yami’s favourite besan ka halwa, making the occasion feel deeply personal rather than simply ceremonial.
The 72nd National Film Awards ceremony took place in Ekta Nagar, Kevadia, Gujarat, where President Droupadi Murmu presented the awards. Yami was honoured for her performance in Article 370, which was among the notable winners at this year’s ceremony.
Surilie Gautam Welcomes Yami With Flowers And Halwa
Surilie’s vlog offered fans a glimpse into the private celebration that followed Yami’s big achievement.
In the video, Surilie can be seen entering the house carrying a bunch of flowers along with a cup of besan ka halwa. She immediately congratulated Yami and gave her a warm hug.
The sisters then shared a playful moment when Surilie lifted Yami and twirled her around. Yami could be seen laughing as the family celebrated her achievement together.
The simple celebration stood in contrast to the grandeur of the National Film Awards ceremony and highlighted the emotional importance of the recognition for Yami’s family.
Yami’s Father Gives Her A Bouquet
The emotional family moment continued when Yami’s father joined the celebration with another bouquet of flowers.
He handed the flowers to his daughter before hugging her and kissing her on the forehead. Yami responded with a tight embrace and thanked her father.
Her mother also joined the celebrations and hugged Yami as the family took in the significance of her first National Award.
The family then made the celebration even more personal by feeding Yami her favourite besan ka halwa. It was a small but memorable detail that made the occasion feel like a traditional family celebration of a major achievement.
Yami Gautam Gets Emotional After National Award Win
After receiving the National Award, Yami Gautam shared a heartfelt note on social media.
The actress expressed gratitude not only for the award but also for the people, experiences and struggles that shaped her journey. She acknowledged everyone who believed in her and described the honour as a deeply meaningful moment in her career.
In a separate interaction after the ceremony, Yami said she was still trying to absorb the achievement. She described receiving a National Award as a major honour for any artist and said she still had much to learn and plenty of work ahead of her.
Her comments reflected a sense of gratitude rather than treating the award as the end of her journey.
Article 370 Earns Major Recognition At National Awards
Yami’s individual honour was part of a broader recognition for Article 370 at the 72nd National Film Awards.
The film won the Best Feature Film award, while Yami was named Best Actress for her leading performance. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev also received recognition for Best Music Direction.
Directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale, Article 370 features Yami Gautam as Zooni Haksar, an intelligence officer involved in a covert operation against the conflict economy and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
The film also stars Priyamani, Arun Govil, Kiran Karmarkar, Vaibhav Tatwawadi and Skand Thakur in important roles.
Aditya Dhar Also Receives National Award Recognition
The National Award celebration was particularly special for Yami because her husband, filmmaker Aditya Dhar, was also recognised for his contribution to Article 370.
Dhar was among the film’s producers, while the project was directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale. The recognition therefore became an important professional milestone for both Yami and Aditya.
The couple had already shared moments from the National Awards ceremony, but the family celebration at home showed a more intimate side of their achievement.
Yami’s Journey From Television To National Award Winner
Yami Gautam’s National Award is also significant because of the journey she has taken through the entertainment industry.
Before establishing herself in Hindi cinema, Yami became widely known through television and later made her Bollywood debut with Vicky Donor. She subsequently appeared in films including Kaabil, Uri: The Surgical Strike, Bala, Dasvi, Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga and OMG 2.
Her performance as Zooni Haksar in Article 370 marked another important stage in her career, eventually leading to the National Film Award recognition.
A Proud Moment For The Gautam Family
For Yami Gautam, the National Award represents professional recognition, but Surilie’s video shows that its emotional value goes much deeper.
The flowers brought by her sister and father, the hugs from her parents, the laughter between the sisters and the plate of besan ka halwa all captured a family celebrating one of its biggest achievements.
As Yami continues her acting journey, her first National Award for Article 370 will remain an important milestone — one that was celebrated not only on the national stage but also with the people closest to her.
