Actor Yami Gautam, in an interview to newspaper Mid-day, which was published on Monday, opened up about dealing with a skin condition and how it affected her at work.

The actor has keratosis pilaris, a condition where small bumps appear on the skin. Gautam had spoken about it in a social media post in October.

“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, why don’t you embrace this fact and accept it enough to be okay with it,” the actor had said.

Gautam had added that she dealt with the condition for many years. “Finally, I decided to let go of all my fears and insecurities and found the courage to love and accept my ‘flaws’ wholeheartedly,” she said.  "I also found the courage to share my truth with you.”
