The year has been particularly exciting for Yami Gautam, who started 2019 with a bang with Uri: The Surgical Strike and is now basking in the glory of the success of her recent release, Bala. And her recent success has come just in time for her birthday. The actor, who turns 31 today, is all the more focussed and charged up to do more and good work.

“This birthday is special because I’ll be celebrating it with my entire family together after almost 10 years. It is going to be like a typical way of celebrating a birthday with a cake and the excitement that we used to have when we were in our teens or in school. I’m going to do some nature farming at our small house in Himanchal and meet pahari neighbours who are so simple and love you for who you are,” says Yami who always “had a working birthdays in the past and never threw a grand party.”

A career spanning seven years and after giving hit films such as Vicky Donor , Badlapur, Kaabil and this year’s Uri: The Surgical Strike and Bala, the actor feels deep gratitude for “whatever little space and identity I have made for myself in the industry”.
