Back in 2019, Amar Kaushik’s ‘Bala’ starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Yami Gautam and Bhumi Pednekar, proved to be a blockbuster, as the satirical black comedy film garnered positive views due to it’s refreshing storytelling. As the film clocked 2 years today, Yami took to her Instagram handle to celebrate the same.

Sharing a bunch of fond memories, Yami penned a heartfelt recalling the sets of the film. “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’!”

Speaking about her self doubt, she writes, “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’”

She added, “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!”

On a closing note, she expressed gratitude to her on-screen character, “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 ❤️”
