Yami Gautam is grateful for the massive love and global recognition her latest film “HAQ” has received.
The film, also starring Emraan Hashmi, recently premiered on Netflix after a decent theatrical run across India.
Yami has been highly praised for her stellar performance as Shah Bano Begum in the film. In response to the growing applause, Yami took a moment to express gratitude to her audience.
"Extremely grateful for such a heartfelt response to HAQ in abundance. The love is truly gratifying for me, both, as an artist & a woman. Jai Hind #HAQ," the actor wrote in an X post.
While viewers have lauded Yami’s ability to bring a quiet power and authenticity to the character, reaffirming her reputation as a versatile performer, “Haq” has equally struck a chord with celebrities.

Earlier, stars like Kiara Advani and Sanjay Kapoor also heaped praise on Yami.
Taking to her Instagram, Kiara shared the poster of “HAQ” and lauded Yami's performance in the movie. She wrote, "Just watched Haq on Netflix. Yami Gautam, what a beautiful performance."
Sanjay Kapoor called it an "excellent film".
The film “HAQ” is based on the 1985 Supreme Court judgement in Mohd Ahmed Khan vs Shah Bano Begum, a landmark case concerning women's rights and maintenance laws in India.
Earlier in an interview, Yami explained her approach to the character and how she evolved through several life stages in the film.
"When you read a story or a script, as an actor, it is my job to understand it, not just read it. The emotional understanding of a character is extremely important, especially when the script is strong. Sometimes we do films that are purely fictional, but “HAQ” is different; it's entertaining, powerful, and thought-provoking," the actor shared.
Directed by Suparn S Varma, the film also features Vartika Singh, Danish Husain, Sheeba Chadha, and Aseem Hattangady in key roles.
The movie released in theatres on November 7, 2025.
