She further wrote, “My father, Mr Mukesh Gautam, winning a National award, is a true testimony of the fact that you need not belong to anyone but your own conscience to stand the test of time & make it happen. My father’ ethics, passion towards his work & honesty in life are his biggest assests & most important legacy for his children. From being my best guiding voice – be it from giving the most clear instructions in order to board my first train alone to narrating some of his most memorable experiences during his journey of work, his disappointments, his ability to find happiness in whatever he did & just giving his best regardless of how hard the situation has been, to sharing some of the best philosophy good morning quotes on family group.“

Yami praised her father who has connections in the industry for not recommending her name to anyone. The URI actor further wrote, “My dad never gave my recommendation to anyone, for he said very clearly that it’s going to be my own journey- full of hardships just like his, but in the end, should I choose to stay resilient & work on my craft, that will yield the best fruit of my own labour. He has always stood by me, my siblings & has protected us in every way that a father can. So here is celebrating MG sir, as my camera shy dad loves to be addressed by his grand kids now.“

Yami Gautam’s father Mukesh Gautam is an Indian film director and works predominantly in Punjabi-language films. He is known for his movies Ek Noor (2011) and Akhiyaan Udeekdian (2009).
