Vijay Varma reveals having a skin condition; explains why he chose to hide it

Not many know but actor Vijay Varma also suffers from a skin condition called vitiligo that makes your skin lose pigmentation with white patches appearing on your skin. He has been hiding the condition as he didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. The other reason he was hiding this condition was that it used to distract him during his movies and that made him conceal it. During a chat with Etimes, Vijay opened up about his skin condition saying that he doesn’t cover it up now as he feels today’s generation is intelligent and understands it.

He told the portal, “It is just a cosmetic thing, and it is not really anything that can change the course of your life. We make it a big deal because it is something which is out there, but I have never really made a big deal out of it.” The Gully Boy actor further mentioned that this condition used to make him worry as it would cause an obstacle. But it soon stopped bothering me after he saw a lot of success.

“I have covered it up for my movies because it just distracts. I don’t want my audience to look at anything else except for what I want to show them, so that is the reason I hide it. But for all my public appearances, for all these years, I have never bothered to cover it up. People these days are very intelligent, and I feel that today’s generation has an innate sense of responsibility. I have never been spoken about loosely for my skin condition. Maybe if it was some other time, then this could have possibly become a topic of discussion.”

Vijay Varma is now gearing up for the release of IC814 movie that is streaming on Netlix.
