Actor Yami Gautam announced Monday that he has been battling keratosis pilaris, an incurable skin disease, for “years.”
The Bhoot Police actor decided to reveal his condition to relieve his “fear and insecurities,” he wrote in a note on Instagram. Gautam shared photos from her recent shoot and reported that the disease causes dry, rough patches with small bumps on the skin.
The 32-year-old actress said that Yami Gautam decided to abandon the procedure when the photos were about to begin post-production to “hide” her skin condition. “I thought, ‘Hey Yami, why don’t you accept this reality and accept it enough to deal with it.’ Just let it go.” (Yeah, I’m speaking out loud) For those who haven’t heard of it, it’s a skin condition where you get tiny bumps on your skin.
Yami shared five photos from different shoots that don’t appear to have airbrushed on his face. “I was shooting for some pictures recently, and when they were about to start post-production (the normal process) to cover up a skin condition called keratosis pilaris, I thought, ‘Hey Yami, why don’t you accept that fact? To be fine.
Let it be like that, “he wrote in the photo caption.
“I have been doing this for years, and today I have finally decided to let go of all my fears and insecurities, and I have found the courage to love and accept my “mistakes” with all my heart. I found the courage to share my truth with you. Good grief! I don’t want to airbrush my folliculitis or smooth it “under the eyes” or “shape” this waist a little more! Still, I feel beautiful,” she added.
“I promise they’re not as bad-headed as you and your neighbor’s aunt. I developed this skin condition when I was young, and there is still no cure for it,” she wrote. However, Gautam said he no longer felt the need to hide his condition and found liberation by sharing it with her follower’s social media.
“I have faced it for years, and today I finally decided to put all my fears and insecurities aside and find the courage to love and accept my “faults” from the bottom of my heart. “I don’t want to airbrush my folliculitis or paint it under my eyes” or “shape my waist a little more! And still, I feel beautiful.” At work, the next actor can be seen in the social comedy “Dasvi,” the thriller “A Thursday” and the investigative drama “Lost.”
