Yami takes inspiration from yesteryear stars


"An actor cannot replicate someone’s brand of humour or comic timing but they can internalise the larger approach by learning the nitty gritty of how they performed. Films like Sridevi’s Chalbaaz and Juhi Chawla’s Yes Boss or even something as simple as the comic bits of Madhuri Dixit’s Hum Aapke Hai Koun! have been a big part of my childhood. There is a method to their acts, a certain twitch of the eye to convey a certain emotion or a raised eyebrow to convey something else. Comedy isn’t always about laugh out loud jokes; sometimes humour can be expressed in such subtle hints. In the 90s, these actresses set the bar so high for us in terms of comedy."
