Yami Gautam Old Clip Of Crushing Over Shahid Afridi Goes Viral After Dhurandhar 2

Bollywood couple Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar have frequently collaborated on films rooted in patriotism, including Uri: The Surgical Strike, Section 375, Dhurandhar, and Dhurandhar 2, projects that often take a strong stance against terrorism and narratives associated with Pakistan.

However, in a contrasting and rather unexpected turn, an old video of Yami Gautam has resurfaced online and is now going viral. The clip shows the actor expressing admiration for Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi, revealing that she once had a crush on him.

The video appears to be from a promotional interaction for their 2014 film Total Siyapaa, where Yami was seen chatting with her co-star Ali Zafar.

During the light-hearted conversation, Yami recalled her experience of watching a cricket match, prompting Ali to playfully mention that she had admitted to having a crush on Afridi, an anecdote that has now caught the internet’s attention years later, especially after the blockbuster success of the Dhurandhar franchise.

One user commented, “In the movie they said, they don’t have issues with Pakistani people. They have problem with terrorists. See the movie again.”

Another user commented, “These are all fake nationalists. Have been saying it for sometime. Preaching Nationalism all the time does not make one a nationalist.”

One user reacted, “She always used to give me shady vibes. Thank God and the way she play victim card for all her movies despite having strong PR team lol.”

Another user reacted, “Both her and her husband were ok, working with Pakistani actors before. Now they’re just making anti-pak movies for money which is also ok. Filmmakers make whatever sells.”

On the work front, Aditya Dhar is reportedly gearing up for his next ambitious venture, which will reportedly be a mythological saga said to feature Ranveer Singh, widely believed to be the long-discussed project Ashwatthama.

Meanwhile, Yami Gautam was last seen in a brief yet impactful cameo in Dhurandhar 2, where she portrayed an Indian agent disguised as a nurse, who neutralises a terrorist inside a hospital.
