Ram Gopal Varma has expressed tremendous admiration for the vision and craft of director Aditya Dhar, who in turn has often cited Varma as a key inspiration. Over the past weekend, Aditya Dhar and Yami Gautam invited Ram Gopal Varma to their home in Mumbai.

Varma came away deeply impressed and moved by the couple’s warmth and hospitality. “For those who believe that success has changed Aditya, I am happy to say he remains grounded, humble, soft-spoken, and uncorrupted. And his wife Yami is just as grounded and gracious. I must say they are the most down-to-earth power couple in our movie industry,” says Varma.

So, what did they speak about? “What do you think? Dhurandhar, of course. When I told Aditya he has changed the grammar of Hindi cinema, he just smiled. He is not taking his success seriously, he is letting others do it.”
