Yami Gautam opens up about her Skin Condition, Says 'Took Years to Accept it'

Bollywood Actress Yami Gautam recently spoke about her skin condition called Keratosis pilaris. She said that she has developed the condition when she was a teenager and that there is no cure for it. She also shared some of her unedited pictures embracing her skin on social media.

In an interview with MidDay, Yami said, “Writing the post wasn’t difficult; it was liberating. The journey from the time when I learnt of my condition to the day I put the post out, was challenging. When people saw me at shoot, they would talk about how it should be airbrushed or concealed. That would affect me a lot. It took years to accept it and wear my confidence. I was overwhelmed to see the response to the post." 

Earlier, Yami shared on social media, “I found the courage to share my truth with you. Phew! I didn’t feel like airbrushing my folliculitis or smoothing that ‘under-eye’ or ‘shaping up’ that waist a tiny bit more! And yet, I feel beautiful."
