A heartwarming video from the intimate wedding of Uri: The Surgical Strike director Aditya Dhar and actress Yami Gautam has resurfaced and is captivating the internet. The couple, known for their private nature, originally tied the knot on June 4, 2021, in a small, intimate ceremony in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, with only 20 guests present.
The wedding video, which offers a glimpse into their special day, was initially shared by Yami and Aditya on their first wedding anniversary. It quickly went viral, drawing immense love and admiration from fans who appreciated the couple's choice to forego a large, extravagant wedding for a more personal and serene celebration.
The video showcases precious, candid moments from the various wedding rituals, with Yami and Aditya radiating happiness. One particularly charming scene captures Aditya tenderly tucking Yami's hair behind her ear as she receives her mehendi. Another heartwarming moment shows the couple sharing a laugh while seated at the mandap, a testament to their strong bond. The video concluded with a touching message: “Thank you for being in my life. Happy anniversary.”
Both Yami and Aditya shared the video on their respective Instagram accounts, expressing their love and gratitude. Aditya captioned the video, "For all you do, for who you are, I will be forever grateful you are in my life. Happy 1st Anniversary! ❤️” Yami shared the same video with the same heartfelt caption.
Yami’s sister, Surilie Gautam, also shared a heartwarming post on Instagram to celebrate the couple's anniversary. She included a picture with Yami and Aditya, writing, “To a lifetime of happy anniversaries #eternallove @yamigautam @adityadharfilms @jasrajsinghbhatti.” Surilie also shared previously unseen snapshots from the pre-wedding festivities on her Instagram stories.
Yami and Aditya's love story began on the sets of Uri: The Surgical Strike, where Yami played the lead actress and Aditya served as the director. Their connection deepened over time, leading to their decision to embark on a lifelong journey together.
Yami has previously spoken about their mutual preference for a low-key wedding, emphasizing their traditional values and discomfort with "pomp and show". She highlighted the importance of celebrating their special day with close family and without unnecessary obligations. Yami took a sustainable approach to her wedding, opting for her mother's sari, a nose ring, and a dupatta gifted by her grandmother. She also did her own makeup, while her sister Surilie styled her hair. The couple chose traditional Pahadi, Kashmiri, and Punjabi folk songs for their celebration, further highlighting their cultural roots.
On the professional front, Yami Gautam was last seen in the film OMG 2 and Lost. Aditya Dhar is currently working on The Immortal Ashwatthama, starring Vicky Kaushal.
