Yami Gautam is now the owner of a heritage house in Himachal Pradesh

It is like a dream come true moment for ‘Kaabil’ actress Yami Gautam who has managed to buy a beautiful home in Himachal Pradesh. A house that is almost 100-year-old spread over 25 acre plot caught the fancy of the actress and hence, she has made the big investment. Apparently, her father informed about this house being on sale and then, she took a sound decision to buy this house, because this place holds fond memories of her childhood.

In an interview with a leading tabloid, Yami recalled her childhood memories and said, “For me a home is more of an emotional connect than a property investment. Even though I grew up in Chandigarh, I would go to my nani’s place near Shimla every year during the summer holidays and some of my happiest memories are rooted there and is the reason I want to be a child again. It was always a special place, even the air felt different and since a car is still a luxury in those parts, I remember taking the autorickshaw or mostly walking for hours to a relative’s home, singing songs and sometimes sliding down a hill for a shortcut. During winters, everyone would gather on the terrace – some knitting, some cooking and some playing with us.”

Informing that her father is looking in to the renovation of this heritage house, she describes, “It’s a typical, traditional Himachali house with the rooms built around an open court yard and one or two of them with secret staircases leading to the basement.”

Congratulations, Yami.
