MUMBAI: Actress Yami Gautam recently shared a glimpse of her serene getaway in Leh with her fans on Instagram. Posting a photo of herself holding a cup of tea against the backdrop of the rugged mountains, she captioned it as, “The feeling of sipping chai while nestled in the lap of mighty mountains, terrain of Leh, by my papa dear, while he holds his cup of chai. #beautifulLadakh, #allaboutchai lovers.”
The post which quickly garnered thousands of likes, highlights Yami's love for travel and simple joys like sharing tea with her father. Yami, who began her career as a model, made her acting debut on television as the lead role in Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Kam.
