Earning glowing reviews for her act in Bala, Yami Gautam says the film has helped her break the image of being just a pretty face

Yami Gautam
In a standout scene in Bala — after she has walked out of her marriage upon discovering that her husband is bald — Yami Gautam's character explains to Ayushmann Khurrana's protagonist why looks are of utmost importance to her. Shallow, you'd assume, but the actor infuses such vulnerability in her part that you deeply empathise with her.
"The film was an amalgamation of so many factors — a novel genre, a comic heroine and the relevance of my role," begins Gautam. While the Khurrana-led comedy is steadily heading towards the Rs 100-crore mark at the box office, Gautam has been the surprise package of the film.
