Actor Yami Gautam recently shared the low-key details of her whirlwind romance with filmmaker Aditya Dhar, dismissing the typical 'love at first sight' narrative. The couple's relationship blossomed organically while working on the 2019 blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike, where Dhar directed and Gautam starred. As they grew closer, their friendship turned into a deep connection, ultimately leading to their surprise wedding in June 2021. Gautam revealed the intimate details of their relationship on a recent podcast, stating that their romance lacked the typical ' filmy' drama, and they never felt the need for a grand proposal. The actor credited their families' alignment and mutual respect for each other as key factors in their love story. Dhar's reputation as a respected director, as seen in his previous films, further solidified their bond. Gautam's latest film, Haq, is a biographical drama inspired by the life of Shah Bano Begum, while Dhar's latest release, Dhurandhar, has been a commercial success, crossing the ₹600 crore mark in India within three weeks. The couple has been enjoying the success of their respective projects alongside their personal milestone - the birth of their son, Vedavid, in 2024.
