Yami Gautam Dhar, celebrated for her impactful performances and choice of meaningful stories, has once again opened up about one of her most admired strengths as an actor — the art of delivering monologues. With her upcoming film Haq on the horizon, the actress reflected on her process and how good writing fuels her performances.
Yami Gautam Dhar opens up on her love for monologues: “It has to feel. It’s from your heart”
The teaser of Haq introduces Yami in a striking new avatar as Shah Bano, with glimpses of intense dialogues that hint at yet another powerful monologue. This comes after the actress was last in the action-comedy Dhoom Dhaam in which she had presented a monologue that resonated with women across the country.
In a recent conversation with ET, Yami recalled her experience of performing the Dhoom Dhaam monologue, saying, “That monologue from Dhoom Dhaam, when I read it in the script, I had the privilege of talking to the writer who’s also my husband. So I said, how did you think of it? Do not tell me I can just thank you on behalf of all the women. And as an actor, as an artist, it’s all about mugging up those lines, right? It has to feel. It’s from your heart. And I think, see, everyone has their own experiences.”
She further praised strong writing as the foundation of her performances, noting how her past films have given her unforgettable moments: “But kudos to the writer! And so we are just expressing the emotion. I always say I’m always a fan of great writing, and he’s an amazing writer. And other films — A Thursday had a monologue, in Article 370 was a very different kind of course about artistry that too from Kashmir, and the next one that’s coming, which we’ll talk about later, will also have a monologue. It’s what I hope you all bear with me. But it’s about eight to 10 minutes. But again it’s not just a monologue. It’s again another woman, another time, another period, another situation expressing herself and in the most honest way that she can.”
Starring Emraan Hashmi for the first time alongside her, Yami’s upcoming project Haq is already creating buzz. Now with the indication of a monologue, fans are eagerly waiting to see how this role as Shah Bano will once again blend authenticity with cinematic intensity.
