A fresh debate has taken over social media after fans noticed that Yami Gautam liked an Instagram Reel questioning Kriti Sanon’s Best Actress win for Tere Ishk Mein. Kriti recently received the award for her performance in the film, but the announcement quickly sparked mixed reactions online, with many fans claiming that Yami deserved the honour instead for her role in Haq.
The controversy intensified when netizens spotted Yami liking a Reel that seemed to indirectly comment on the award result. The video reportedly showed Kriti celebrating her Best Actress trophy, followed by a clip from one of Yami’s earlier interviews where she said she had “stopped seeking validation” from awards. The Reel ended by questioning whether the final decision was truly fair.
Once the like was noticed, screenshots began circulating across social media platforms, triggering a wave of reactions. Some users speculated that Yami’s interaction with the Reel might be a subtle dig at Kriti’s win, while others felt people were reading too much into it. Several fans also came out strongly in support of Yami, arguing that her performance in Haq was more deserving of the recognition.
At the same time, many fans defended Kriti, pointing out that award decisions often spark debate and that her performance in Tere Ishk Mein was widely appreciated as well. As discussions continue online, the moment has once again highlighted how closely celebrities’ social media activity is watched and how even a simple “like” can quickly turn into a trending topic.
