Actor Yami Gautam had a sweet response when asked to choose between Hollywood star Brad Pitt and her husband, filmmaker Aditya Dhar. The moment unfolded during a promotional event for her upcoming film Nayyi Navelli in Ahmedabad, where the actor's quick reply drew applause from the audience.
During the interaction, the host posed a playful question, asking Yami whether she would still check the autorickshaw meter if Brad Pitt were seated beside her. Without hesitation, the actor made it clear where her attention would lie.
"My eyes will only be on Aditya Dhar," she replied, indicating that her eyes would be on Aditya. Her affectionate response prompted cheers and applause from those present, with the exchange offering a glimpse into the actor's fondness for her husband.
A video of the interaction has since drawn attention, adding a personal moment to Yami's ongoing promotions for Nayyi Navelli, which is scheduled to release in theatres on October 16.
Yami's answer stood out for its simplicity, turning a light-hearted question about one of Hollywood's biggest stars into an affectionate shoutout to Aditya. The actor and filmmaker have generally kept their relationship away from the public spotlight, making such candid moments all the more noticeable.
The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Himachal Pradesh on June 4, 2021. Since then, they have largely maintained a private personal life, occasionally sharing glimpses of their relationship with fans.
Yami and Aditya also embraced parenthood in 2024 with the birth of their son, Vedavid. They announced his arrival after he was born on Akshaya Tritiya, which fell on May 10 that year. The name Vedavid has Sanskrit origins and refers to someone well-versed in the Vedas.
As part of the film's promotional campaign, Yami has been interacting with audiences, with the Ahmedabad event producing a memorable exchange that shifted attention briefly from the film to her personal life. While the release date approaches, her response about Aditya has offered fans a light-hearted moment to enjoy alongside the film's promotions.
Meanwhile, Yami is gearing up for the release of Nayyi Navelli, which is scheduled to arrive in theatres worldwide on October 16. Directed by Tamil filmmaker Balaji Mohan, the film features Addinath M. Kothare, Anurag Thakur, Sunita Rajwar, Mita Vasisth, Aaditya Kulshreshth, Susmita Mukherjee and Prateek Pachori in pivotal roles.
