Yami Gautam REVEALS why she chose to go public about her incurable skin condition

Actor Yami Gautam took everyone by surprise when she spoke about her incurable skin condition Keratosis Pilaris with utmost courage on social media. In October, Yami penned a long note where she was insecure about her condition and to accept her ‘flaws’ wholeheartedly. Yami not only mentioned that now she is accepting this part of her life but she also mentioned that she found the courage to share her truth with the fans.

Now, in a recent interview with Mid-Day, Yami revealed why she chose to go public about her skin condition. She 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.”

Yami Gautam Dhar added that it has taken years of confidence and courage to finally talk about her skin condition. “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,” Yami Gautam added.
