Gautam then added, “We get tagged in multiple things every day, and this appeared during an award-function reference like any other tag.”

The 37-year-old actress’ clarification post comes after she liked an Instagram post that seemingly targeted the Do Patti actress.

For the unversed, the Mimi actress won the Best Actress award at the Zee Cine Awards, beating Gautam and the other five nominees, Aneet Padda, Kangana Ranaut, Sonam Bajwa, and Triptii Dimri.

After Kriti Sanon was announced as the winner, many social media users began debating that Yami Gautam was the more deserving winner and one clip, posted on social media, showed the latter with a trophy instead of Sanon.

On professional front, the Lost actress will soon star in a cameo in the action thriller movie, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which will release on March 19, 2026.
