Yami Gautam Dhar talks about meeting senior crime journalists to prepare for her role in Lost

Yami Gautam Dhar, who is awaiting the premiere of her soon-to-be-streamed project, Lost, encountered actual crime journalists while filming the movie, in which she plays a crime reporter on the hunt for a story. 

The actress told “I didn’t meet any crime journalists prior to the shooting but yes, I did meet them while we were shooting, and they were very senior. They were very kind.” 

Yami Gautam Dhar added, “It was a pleasure meeting them because if they hadn’t told me who they were, I would never know their significant body of work. I wouldn’t have known their background. They were extremely warm. They watched us shoot and perform. That’s all about it; there was no particular journalist that I had in mind while preparing for the role”. 

Yami Gautam Dhar also discussed why she thinks the film industry is one of the most prestigious industries in the world. She said, “Cinema has a large influence on people, which is why it is considered one of the most loved and respected professions in the world. It manages to evoke a beautiful bag of emotions within you. It has the capacity to entertain and engage you as an audience and that’s what I call success. I am hoping Lost can give the audience that kind of experience.” 

Yami made her acting debut in Bollywood with Vicky Donor in 2012, opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. She has starred in several movies such as Kaabil, Sanam Re, Bala, Ginny weds Sunny, A Thursday, Badlapur, Dasvi among others. She will be next seen in Lost, which is set to drop on OTT platform ZEE5 on February 16. She has Oh My God 2 and Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga in the pipeline.
