She posted the synopsis: "Nayyi Navelli: A picture-perfect bride transforms a chaotic Meerut household into a slice of heaven...until her brother-in-law suspects that things may not be as perfect as they seem! The ideal bahu could very well be an evil force from an outer world!!

A few days ago, In an interview with Filmfare, Yami shared that while her debut was successful, it was seen as "unconventional" as she "hadn't been launched as the typical heroine." She said this affected the kind of work she was offered. After years of struggling to find the right opportunity, she had almost given up on acting when Uri: The Surgical Strike came her way in 2019.
“Just before Uri and Bala, I had made peace with leaving the industry altogether. I thought I'd return to Himachal. We have farmland there. I imagined beginning a completely different life. My parents were incredibly supportive. They simply said, 'Come home.' And strangely, the moment I stopped clinging to the industry out of fear, everything changed. Uri happened. Bala happened. Life changed almost overnight," the actress said.
