In a recent interview, she opened up about being typecast for certain roles and revealed she wasn’t offered diverse characters.

She also added that her husband- director Aditya Dhar offered her to play an undercover R&AW agent in ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’ with Vicky Kaushal and Mohit Raina which opened doors for her. Yami was quoted saying, “More than advice, it’s a discussion. I have a habit of discussing with people I’m close with I still do that with my mom, my dad, and of course, Aditya and I really value his perspective. He has a mind, which is full of brilliant ideas and some really unique perspectives. He cast me in a film at a time when no one saw me pulling it off even though I made my debut with a film like Vicky Donor.”
“I was only being offered certain types of roles, but he cast me in a different character. That same year (2019), Bala happened. So he’s someone who has a mind like that and he will never go the cliche way. He will always like to break what he’s already done and move on and have a totally different outlook. So it’s about exchanging ideas and then based on those, you make your own decision,” the Dasvi actress further added.
