Yami Gautam, preparing for motherhood, shares she’ll remain a working mother, expressing appreciation for her husband’s backing.
Yami Gautam and filmmaker Aditya Dhar are preparing to greet their first child as Yami enters the final trimester of her pregnancy. She credits her mother, Anjali Gautam, and sister, Surilie Gautam, for inspiring her approach to motherhood. “My mother has been an incredible parent who raised us with patience and love.
I remember she was very playful with us. I also liked the way she would correct us and keep us occupied. I keep asking my mom how she did it, and she tells me that you can’t take notes because it doesn’t work like that. My sister, too, has done a great job with raising my nephew, who I am very close to,” she says.
Yami believes that parenting has become somewhat easier nowadays due to the convenience of doorstep delivery for essential items. “With the advent of technology, you get everything at your doorstep. I come from a middle-class family and was raised with middle-class values. When we were growing up, things weren’t this easy. There wasn’t instant access to everything. When it comes to raising a child, we depend on our family to help and guide us,” she says.
