Yami's experience as model helped her in Bala

Actress Yami Gautam says her personal experience as a model has come in handy to get the nuances right for her role in the upcoming film Bala.

Yami, who will be seen playing a model in the film, said in a statement: "I play a popular model from a local city in Lucknow. Unlike a lot of characters shown on screen so far, my character is a local model who's famous in a local town.

"There have been many occasions in my heydays which I associate with my character on a personal level even though the character is far different and her experiences are different from what I have experienced."

The only similarity, she said, is the fact that she is a model.
