Yami Gautam Picks Aditya Dhar Over Brad Pitt with Cheeky Reply

Yami Gautam walked into a light-hearted promotional question in Ahmedabad and turned it into an unmissable husband-appreciation moment. The actor, in the city to promote her upcoming fantasy family entertainer Nayyi Navelli, was asked what she would do if she had to check an autorickshaw’s meter with Brad Pitt sitting beside her.

Her answer was quick and full of affection. “Meri nazar Aditya Dhar pe hi rahegi,” she said, translating roughly to “I have eyes only for Aditya Dhar.” The response immediately gave the promotional interaction a personal edge and had fans online gushing over the candid shoutout.

Why the reply feels special

Yami and Aditya Dhar married in 2021 and welcomed their son Vedavid on May 10, 2024. For most of their relationship, they have kept their private life away from the spotlight. That makes a spontaneous line like this feel like a rare window into the couple’s off-screen bond, not just another press-tour talking point.

The comment also lands at a festive time. The interaction took place as Navratri celebrations began in Ahmedabad, adding a warm, celebratory mood to the film’s promotional cycle.

What this means for Nayyi Navelli

The buzz matters for Nayyi Navelli, which is scheduled to hit theatres on October 16. The film is directed by Balaji Mohan and produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma. It marks Yami’s return to the big screen after Haq, and she also made a cameo in Dhurandhar 2, directed by Aditya.

Here’s a quick snapshot for fans planning their watch:

• The film: Nayyi Navelli, a fantasy family entertainer.
• Release date: October 16 in cinemas.
• Director: Balaji Mohan.
• Producers: Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma.
• The backstory: Yami and Aditya won National Film Awards for Article 370; she took Best Actress and he was honoured for Best Feature Film as producer.

The other headline that wasn’t

The moment also arrives after a separate story about the couple made news. Reports suggested they were planning to shift their permanent base to Himachal Pradesh, where Yami reportedly owns a century-old heritage house and a 25-acre plot in Gohar, Mandi. A source close to the couple, speaking exclusively to SCREEN, denied the claims, saying, “No. Who is sending this story?” Aditya’s team has clarified there are no plans to relocate their permanent base.

For now, the focus stays where Yami herself placed it: on her husband, her film, and a release that is only days away.
