Actor Yami Gautam Dhar recently opened up and shared that she has dealt with keratosis pilaris, a type of incurable skin condition since her teens. The 35-year old actor decided to let go of her “fears and insecurities” as she penned a post on Instagram and shared unedited pictures of her skin.
Yami explained that the condition causes dry and rough patches with tiny bumps on her skin. She wrote, “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,” she added.
“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 signed off.
What a beautiful way to let the world know that
