Sometimes, the strongest reviews come not from critics — but from fellow actors. Alia Bhatt recently watched Haq after its OTT debut and couldn’t stop herself from applauding Yami Gautam. Taking to Instagram Stories, Alia shared a heartfelt note, openly declaring her admiration for Yami’s performance in the film.
The courtroom drama, which stars Emraan Hashmi opposite Yami, has been steadily gaining praise since its digital release — and Alia’s reaction has now added to the buzz.
“One of My Top Female Performances”: Alia’s Reaction
Sharing her thoughts on Instagram, Alia described Yami’s work in Haq as nothing short of exceptional. She praised her craft, emotional depth, and screen presence, calling the performance “pure heart and gold.”
Alia also revealed that she had already conveyed the same admiration to Yami over a phone call, adding that she now considers herself a fan and is eagerly waiting to see what the actor does next. The post quickly caught attention online, with fans celebrating the rare moment of genuine peer appreciation.
Haq: From Box Office Success to OTT Love
Directed by Suparn Varma, Haq had a successful theatrical run in 2025 before making its OTT debut on Netflix on January 2. Inspired by a landmark Supreme Court judgment, the film blends legal drama with emotional storytelling, which resonated strongly with both critics and audiences.
Yami plays Shazia Bano, a character that has been widely praised for its restraint and intensity, while Emraan essays the role of Advocate Mohammad Abbas Khan. The film also features Vartika Singh, Danish Hussain, Sheeba Chaddha, and Paridhi Sharma in key roles.
Not Just Alia — Industry Love Keeps Pouring In
Alia isn’t the only Bollywood name impressed by Yami’s performance. A few days earlier, Kiara Advani had also shared her appreciation on Instagram, calling Yami’s performance “beautiful” after watching the film on Netflix.
With multiple actors praising her work, Haq seems to be enjoying a strong second wave of appreciation post its OTT release.
