At the recently held Zee Cine Awards, Kriti Sanon won Best Actress for her role in Tere Ishk Mein over other nominees. Yami Gautam’s fans, however, argued online that she deserved it for her role in Haq. Amid chatter surrounding it, Yami liked an Instagram Reel shading Kriti for her win. Reddit was quick to notice this and question whether she was ‘insecure’.
Yami Gautam likes Instagram Reel shading Kriti Sanon’s win
A reel posted by an Instagram page features a clip of a happy Kriti showing off her Best Actress award after the win. It is juxtaposed with Yami stating in a previous THR India interview, “You try everything, and it still doesn’t work. So, I’ve stopped seeking any kind of validation. If I get that award, then I am a good actress, and otherwise, I’m not. Nothing like that.”
The video ends with the question “Is it fair?” referring to how Kriti got the award over Yami. The caption also mentions how Yami’s fans have argued that she deserved the award over Kriti. The Reel has gotten numerous likes, including one from Yami. The comments section of the Reel seemed split on who deserved the award, with some even bringing up Kangana Ranaut for Emergency.
Reddit wonders if Yami Gautam is ‘insecure’
A Redditor posted the Reel on the platform, with a screengrab of Yami liking it. Numerous Redditors immediately began chiming in, with one person writing, “ewww whys she dragging kriti when all kriti does is mind her business.” A comment called her insecure, “How insecure is yami? She has always been shading others openly.” Another pointed out, “Article 370 was neither some great movie nor her performance was outstanding or anything.”
A Redditor opined, “Why So much hate on Kriti winning the award, Award Kriti ko mile ya Yami ko both are deserving (whether Kriti wins it or Yami, both are deserving).” Some still seemed to be of the opinion that Yami should’ve gotten the award. “Honestly speaking yes. Yami was outstanding. I say this as a huge Kriti fan. Kriti is good in Tere Ishq Mein but was better in Do Patti,” commented one.
