Praising Yami’s professionalism and performance, Emraan said, "And, coming to this lovely lady here, there is a mutual admiration society here. I had heard so much about her before working on this film through basic things, like coming on time and knowing your line — is a rarity in our industry. Sometimes actors don’t even turn up on sets. I think we had a fantastic time on set. It was so easy. She is so effortless as a performer and I said this in an early interview. The way she’s performed in Bano’s character. You know, there is a blend of an entertaining performance, an emotional performance and at the same time very real, and watchable… I think that’s what she’s done and I’ve learnt so much from her as an actor, so she’s done a fine job in this film."

Emraan’s comments reflect the strong camaraderie shared between the two actors on set. Known for his intense screen presence, the actor appeared genuinely impressed by Yami’s approach to her role, describing her performance as both natural and emotionally resonant.

Haq, which draws inspiration from the life and legacy of Shah Bano, explores the story of a woman’s resilience in the face of social and legal challenges. Yami Gautam essays the central role, portraying the strength and vulnerability of her character with authenticity.

Yami, who has built a reputation for taking on content-driven roles, continues to expand her creative repertoire. With Haq and four other projects in the pipeline, she is set for a strong return to the big screen. Her choice of roles and dedication to meaningful storytelling have consistently made her one of the most dependable performers in contemporary Hindi cinema.

As anticipation builds for Haq, Emraan’s endorsement has only added to the curiosity surrounding Yami’s portrayal of a complex, real-life character in this much-awaited film.
