Are Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar Moving to Himachal Pradesh?

Reports surfaced on October 4th and 5th, 2026, across various media outlets, indicating that Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar, along with their son Vedavid, were reportedly shifting their permanent residence to Himachal Pradesh. These reports often highlighted Yami's deep connection to the state, where she owns a century-old heritage home on a sprawling 25-acre property in Gohar, Mandi.

It was at this picturesque location that the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on June 4, 2021. Many reports suggested this move was driven by a desire for a quieter life away from Mumbai's relentless public gaze, especially after welcoming their son, Vedavid, in May 2024.

However, these speculations have now been firmly put to rest. In an exclusive statement to SCREEN,  Aditya Dhar's team dismissed the rumours outright. When contacted for verification, his team's response was clear: “No. Who is sending this story?” This clarification comes as a direct refutation of the reports, indicating no plans for a permanent relocation despite their strong ties to Himachal Pradesh and their preference for privacy.

Balancing Professional Commitments and Personal Sanctuary

While the idea of a permanent shift to Himachal Pradesh has been debunked, Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar's connection to the state remains undeniable. Their heritage home in Mandi is not merely a retreat; it's a cherished personal space and the location of their wedding. The property, built with traditional wood and stone, boasts organic kitchen gardens where apples, potatoes, plums, and ginger are reportedly grown.

The couple has been in the spotlight recently for their significant professional achievements. On September 22, 2026, both Yami and Aditya received National Awards for their critically acclaimed film, Article 370, at the 72nd National Film Awards in Ekta Nagar, Gujarat. Yami Gautam was honoured with the Best Actress award, while Aditya Dhar received the award for Best Feature Film as a producer.

Aditya Dhar has also been celebrating the immense success of his recent directorial ventures, Dhurandhar (2025) and Dhurandhar: The Revenge (2026). Dhurandhar: The Revenge, released in March 2026, garnered over ₹1,600 crore worldwide, marking a massive box office success and cementing his position as a formidable filmmaker. Yami Gautam, on her part, is gearing up for her next release, the fantasy family entertainer Nayyi Navelli, slated to hit screens on October 16, 2026. ‘Dhurandhar’ Director Aditya Dhar Lauds Yash’s ‘Toxic’ Amid Film Backlash.
