Model turned actress Yami
Gautam, who has been presented with the Indian Chamber of Commerce
women's achievement award on Wednesday, says it was a matter of pride
for her as she has no godfather.
Asked about her feeling on receiving this felicitation, Yami said, "I
had the privilege to understand how challenging it is to make it in our
respective fields. And this award does give me a sense of pride for
making it on my own as I do not have a godfather here and I am not from
Mumbai."
The "Sanam Re" actress also said that she has just begun her acting
career and has a long way to go.
"This feels a little different. To be felicitated here by Indian
Chamber of Commerce is a very big deal. There is a lot more to do as I
have just begun my journey. Honour like this gives a lot of
encouragement, to work harder and achieve more," she said.
Starting her career as a model, Yami has come a long way and is
thankful to her mother for all the support and encouragement.
"I would like to thank the wonder women in my life who is my mother. I
am really proud to be from where I am and that is because of my mother.
In true sense she taught me the power of belief and to believe in
myself," she said.
Yami Gautam last appeared on the silver screen in "Sarkar 3" as Annu
Karkare opposite Amit Sadh.
