While promoting the film, she opened up about her skin condition Keratosis Pilaris, and how people would react to the same.
Talking to India.com, the actress spoke in detail about how people skin-shamed her and often advised her to go for an airbrush or conceal the face as she is a public figure and has to look a certain way.ALSO READ:Filmfare Awards 2020: Yami Gautam Pens An Open Letter After Her Bala Act Gets Snubbed; I Am A Hustler
The actress said, "It takes time and experience to reach a point where you realize that now I can express an aspect of who I am or what I believe in. This is the time when an actor is not just an actor – you are an endorser also, you have brands, events, an image and a lot of things that you carry along with yourself apart from being just an actor."
Last year, Yami shared a post on Instagram and opened up about her skin condition. She wrote, "I recently shot for some images and just when they were about to go in for post-production (a common procedure) to conceal my skin-condition called Keratosis- Pilaris, I thought, ‘Hey Yami, why don’t you embrace this fact and accept it enough to be OKAY with it. Just let it be... (Yes, I do talk out loud to myself)."
She added, "For those who haven't heard about this, it’s a skin condition wherein you get tiny bumps on the skin. I promise they aren’t as bad as your mind and your neighbor aunty makes it out to be developed this skin condition during my teenage years, and there is still no cure for it."
"I've dealt with it for many years now and today finally, I decided to let go of all my fears and insecurities and found the courage to love and accept my ‘flaws’ wholeheartedly. I also found the courage to share my truth with you. Phew!," added Yami.
