MUMBAI: Yamini Malhotra is a popular name in the showbiz world. She is known for shows like Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. Recently, Yamini also participated in Bigg Boss 18, when she impressed the audience with her wit and charm.
However, recently, Yamini Malhotra took to her Instagram stories and shared a disheartening experience of trying to find a home in Mumbai. Known for her bold personality and vibrant presence on television, Yamini revealed the challenges she has been facing while trying to find a house in the city.
In a heartfelt post, Yamini shared how landlords and agents asked her questions like, "Are you Hindu or Muslim?" or "Gujarati or Marwadi?" These discriminatory inquiries left her feeling bewildered and upset. Yamini also expressed her frustration over how many were quick to refuse her simply because she is an actor. Despite Mumbai’s reputation as the ‘city of dreams,’ the actress highlighted the irony of how some dreams seem to come with conditions attached—particularly for actors.
"Hello guys, I just want to share something that's been really disheartening. As much as I love Mumbai, finding a home here has been a tough journey. I have been asked questions like, 'Are you Hindu or Muslim?' 'Gujarati or Marwadi?' And as soon as people hear I am an actor, they outright refuse. Does being an actor make me less deserving of a home? It's shocking how these questions still exist in 2025. Can we really call this the city of dreams if dreams come with condition?" she wrote.
Yamini's message resonates with many who have faced similar hurdles and reinforces the need for change in a society that is still grappling with stereotypes. In her post, Yamini implores for a world where opportunities and acceptance are not limited by one’s profession or background. This revelation from Yamini serves as a reminder that, even in a progressive city like Mumbai, there is still much work to be done to ensure equal rights for everyone.
