Mumbai, November 8, 2025 – Actress Yami Gautam, celebrated for her performances in movies like "Vicky Donor" and "Article 370", recently experienced her first-ever Mumbai local train ride, a quintessential part of the city's culture. The journey also included her "Haq" co-star, Emraan Hashmi. Gautam shared a selfie with Hashmi on her Instagram, captioning it, "My first ever Mumbai-darshan by train along with the one & only… #HAQse".
The snapshot captures Gautam in a lilac ethnic suit and Hashmi in a casual white t-shirt, both beaming at the camera. The post quickly gained traction, with fans and followers appreciating the actors' down-to-earth approach.
Gautam and Hashmi are currently starring in the courtroom drama "Haq," which was released on Friday, November 7, 2025. The film, directed by Suparn Varma and produced by Times Group MD, Vineet Jain, is inspired by a landmark Supreme Court judgement and explores themes of justice, gender equality, and the Uniform Civil Code. "Haq" has received positive responses from critics, with some praising Gautam's performance as career-defining.
In the film, Gautam plays Shazia Bano, a resilient woman seeking justice after her husband, played by Hashmi, abandons her and denies her maintenance. The story delves into the complexities of tradition, gender parity, education, and minority rights.
Notably, "Haq" secured censor clearance with zero cuts in India, as well as in the UAE, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. However, prior to its release, the film faced a legal notice from the daughter of Shah Bano, who claimed the film was based on her mother's case without consent. The filmmakers have maintained that "Haq" is a fictionalized work inspired by multiple cases, not a direct adaptation.
Yami Gautam's impromptu Mumbai darshan comes amid the success of "Haq," which has been well-received by audiences. The film adds to Gautam's diverse filmography, which includes titles such as "Kaabil" and "A Thursday". Emraan Hashmi, a veteran in the industry with over 20 years of experience, is known for his roles in films like "Jannat" and "The Dirty Picture".
