Despite failures in her career, Yami Gautam says the fear of being written off did not play on her mind. The actor says she will keep giving her best till she fulfils her dreams. Gautam made a successful debut with the National Award winning Vicky Donor (2012), post which her projects, except for Badlapur (2015) and Kaabil (2017), did not work at the box office.

"I had other fears to deal with. What if I attend an event and the media asks me 'so and so's film did well, yours didn't', what will I say, how will I handle it. I was too vulnerable and sensitive," says Gautam. "I didn't know how to be myself or be comfortable with the fact that it [box office failure] happens. You just have to accept it. I never bought my ticket to Mumbai, I earned it. I believe I was called for this and I won't leave till I achieve my dreams," she asserts.
