Bollywood actress Yami Gautam Dhar has addressed the social media controversy surrounding a reel she reportedly ‘liked’ that appeared to shade fellow actor Kriti Sanon.
Taking to Instagram, Yami explained that the like was accidental and emphasized that she has never resorted to cheap PR tactics.
She clarified that celebrities are often tagged in multiple posts daily, and this incident was not a conscious attempt to comment on Kriti’s award win at the Zee Cine Awards 2026.
Fans had noticed Yami’s engagement on a viral reel comparing Kriti’s win for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Tere Ishk Mein with Yami’s nomination for Haq and Kangana Ranaut’s nomination for Emergency.
The reel featured Kriti holding her trophy alongside snippets from Yami’s interview, sparking speculation online.
Yami’s statement assures fans and followers that her focus remains on her work, distancing herself from social media controversies and clickbait narratives.
