Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar marked a memorable moment at the 72nd National Film Awards as they arrived together to receive honours for Article 370. The couple chose coordinated black outfits for the occasion, adding an elegant touch to an already special day.
The National Film Awards winners were announced in July 2026, with Article 370 emerging as one of the major winners. Yami Gautam received the Best Actress award for her performance in the film, while Article 370 was named Best Feature Film. The movie also won Best Music Direction for composer Shashwat Sachdev.
Yami Gautam Chooses a Traditional Black Saree
For the award ceremony, Yami Gautam opted for a classic black saree featuring a golden zari border and subtle motifs. She draped the saree in a traditional style and paired it with a black blouse decorated with gold embroidery around the neckline.
The actress completed her look with gold earrings featuring an intricate jhumka design and a simple gold ring. Her styling remained elegant and understated, keeping the focus on the traditional outfit.
Yami wore her hair in a neat bun decorated with a pink flower. Her makeup was kept minimal, with soft pink cheeks, mauve-toned lips and subtle eye makeup. A small bindi completed her traditional look.
Aditya Dhar Complements Her in a Black Bandhgala
Aditya Dhar also opted for an all-black look. The filmmaker and producer wore a black bandhgala and kept his appearance simple and formal.
The coordinated outfits made the couple stand out as they posed together during the National Awards ceremony.
Aditya Dhar was one of the producers of Article 370, which was directed by Aditya Suhas Jambhale. The film was produced by B62 Studios in association with Jio Studios.
Yami Gautam Calls the National Award a Major Honour
Speaking about her win, Yami Gautam described the National Award as a deeply meaningful moment in her career. She said the honour felt like the highest form of validation an artist could receive and added that she was still trying to take in the significance of the achievement.
Her Best Actress win came for her role in Article 370, which centres on events surrounding the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.
