Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri took to Twitter to show his support for actress Yami Gautam, who reacted to a review regarding her recent film ‘Dasvi’. The filmmaker appreciated the actress’ efforts in taking a stand and also told her that she did not need anyone’s approval to prove her talent.
Tak💖ing to his Twitter account on Friday, April 8, the filmmaker posted, "Bravo, @yamigautam for speaking up. You need no certificates for your talent from this vicious mafia 🦹led by @anupamachopra (sic)."
Gautam had earlier tweeted about how she takes 'constructive criticism' in her stride, she feels it's necessary to speak up if a 'certain platform' keeps trying to pull her down. She had posted, “Before 🅰I say anything else, I’d like to say that I usually take constructive criticism in my stride. But when a certain platform keeps trying to pull you down consistently, I felt it necessary to speak up about it.”
She was referring to the lines in the review of that certain web portal, that state🧔d, “Yami Gautam is no longer the dead girlfriend in Hindi films, but ꦓthe combative smile is starting to get repetitive.” She had shared a screenshot of the same.
Gautam had added in the Twitter thread, "It takes years of hard work for anyone & especially a self-made actor like me to keep proving our mettle again & again with every opportunity. This is what it comes down to from certain reputed portals! It's heartbreaking since I did look up to @FilmCompanion once up♑on a time, like many of us, but I don't seek that since long now! I would request you not to 'review' my performance henceforth ! I'll find grace in that & it'll be le💮ss painful (sic)."
‘Dasvi’ also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Nimrat Kaur and was recently released 🅘on Netflix and Jio Cinema.
