Recently it was reported that Yami is all set to play a model in her next film with Ayushmann Khurrana in Bala. Yami is thrilled to play such a character for the first time and her modelling days experiences came handy.She plays a city model from Lucknow who is a popular face of the local brands.
Speaking on this Yami said, “I play a popular model from Lucknow. Unlike a lot of characters shown on screen so far, my character is a local model who’s famous in a local town. There have been many occasions in my hay days which I associate with my character on a personal level even though the character is far different and her experiences are different from what I have experienced. The only similarity is that that she’s a model and I have done that briefly, so there are basics I understand of the character."
During her good old days as a model Yami was the choice of various brands and fashion designers as the face of their product. When she learnt she is playing a model in the film she got all excited to portray her past real life experiences in reel life.
