Yami Gautam Calls Dhurandhar 2 Cameo Fee Priceless
Yami Gautam responded on Kon Honaar Crorepati to reports of a big fat cheque for her Dhurandhar: The Revenge cameo and called the experience priceless.
Yami Gautam has finally answered the question that followed her surprise appearance in Dhurandhar: The Revenge: did she really walk away with a “big fat cheque” for the cameo? Her answer, delivered on a quiz show couch, was not about money.
The actor appeared on the Marathi quiz show Kon Honaar Crorepati with host Madhuri Dixit, and the conversation quickly turned to the action-thriller directed by Yami’s husband, Aditya Dhar. In a promo shared by SonyLIV, Dixit says she enjoyed the film and asks the question fans had been debating online.
Yami’s response to the pay report
Yami said she had read the same story and was surprised. “I read somewhere that I got a very big fat cheque for the cameo and I was like what is this?” she told Madhuri.
Then she reframed the role. “Some things are priceless,” Yami said. “It was very sweet of Aditya to say, ‘Yami, I want you to come in my film just for good luck.’”
Her closing line was the one fans have been repeating. “To get directed by one of the finest directors was my fees.”
What the cameo actually was
In Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Yami Gautam played Shazia Bano, a nurse who is ultimately revealed as an undercover Indian agent operating in Pakistan. She shared the frame with Ranveer Singh, but the two exchanged no dialogue.
That detail may have fed the pay speculation. A no-dialogue appearance can read as a blink-and-miss moment, but in an espionage thriller, the reveal is the whole point.
Why this exchange matters
- The rumour is settled: Yami says she did not receive a big fat cheque for the cameo.
- It was a family connection: Aditya Dhar asked her to appear in the film for good luck.
- She valued the craft: Being directed by her husband, she says, was the fee.
Cameo pay guesses are a regular part of Bollywood chatter, and they often move faster than facts. Here, Yami did not give a figure. She gave context — a cameo can be a gesture of trust between two filmmakers who happen to be married.
Madhuri Dixit captured the audience response when she said it was fun to see Yami turn around on screen. The moment landed precisely because it was unexpected.
The full interaction will air on the upcoming episode of Kon Honaar Crorepati, where the quiz format often doubles as a warm celebrity chat.
Our take
Yami Gautam turned a salary rumour into a warm story about good luck and good direction. That may be the smartest answer to a pay question: decline the number and keep the goodwill.
