“I decided to let go of all my fears and insecurities and found the coura ge to love and accept my ‘flaws’ wholeheartedly”, confesses Yami Gautam!

#YamiGautam is inspirational in more ways than one! The star pens down a confession to talk about beauty and its meaning. The versatile actress, who is riding high on the positive response of #BhootPolice, took to her social media handle to share her journey of self-acceptance.

Yami posted a series of her untouched and unedited pictures on her Instagram. While expressing herself, the actress said, “Hello my Insta family, 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🙋🏻♀). 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 🙎🏻♀🤷🏻♀) I 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! 😅 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 :),” she further added.

While social media has set a norm of always looking perfect, Yami’s honest post has come down as a fresh breeze on the internet. The relatability factor has struck a chord with everyone across the nation.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Yami has a packed calendar. Her film Dasvi, A Thursday, and LOST are in the pipeline for a release, while OMG2, Dhoom Dhaam, and Chor Nikal Ke Bhaaga are all in the makings.
