Actor Yami Gautam, recently, decided to let go of all “fears and insecurities” as she penned down a note revealing that she has been dealing with keratosis pilaris, an incurable skin condition since her teenage years. Sharing a bunch of close-up shots of herself, the 'Bala' actor wrote that having been conscious about her skin condition for years, she has finally decided to "embrace" her "flaws".
Sharing a few pictures from her latest photoshoot, the actress 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.”
Explaining more about keratosis pilaris, 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 neighbour 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!". Yami Gautam wrapped her post with these words: "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."
