# Yami Gautam's Inspiring Journey: From Pregnant Powerhouse on 'Article 370' Set to Fearless New Mom Back in Action Imagine discovering you're pregnant mid-shoot for a high-stakes action thriller—yet pushing through to deliver a blockbuster. That's exactly what **Yami Gautam** did, turning personal milestones into professional triumphs.[1][2][4] Yami Gautam was five-and-a-half months pregnant when she learned of her first child while filming the final portions of *Article 370* (2024), a film hailed as one of the year's biggest successes for her power-packed performance.[1][4] Undeterred, she continued shooting, later calling the experience "surreal" as her baby was essentially "part of *Article 370*."[2][3] Her mother offered sage advice during this time: not to feel guilty about balancing career and motherhood, a message that resonated deeply as Yami navigated the demands of intense scenes.[4] This dedication added her to Bollywood's elite list of actress-mothers, alongside stars like Deepika Padukone, who filmed *Kalki 2898 AD*'s climax while pregnant, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, who shot *Laal Singh Chaddha* at five-and-a-half months.[1] But Yami's story doesn't stop at pregnancy. After welcoming son Vedavid in May last year, she returned to work just nine months later, diving into *Dhoom Dhaam* with Pratik Gandhi—though she initially urged makers to recast her, showcasing her thoughtful approach to new motherhood.[6] She even praised husband Aditya Dhar for his unwavering support amid these challenges.[5] Her journey challenges the idea that motherhood pauses a career, proving women in Bollywood can thrive on all fronts.[1]
