Hyderabad: Bollywood actor Yami Gautam is known for keeping her social media profile as real as possible. Yami won the love of her fans for ditching a curated wedding for celebrating her roots when she tied the knot with filmmaker Aditya Dhar in June. The actor is again being lauded by her admirers as she dares to share unedited pictures on social media and revealed that she has a skin condition called Keratosis pilaris.
On Monday, Yami took to her Instagram handle to share a string of pictures from her latest photoshoot. Before the pictures were sent for editing, the actor thought of letting go off all her inhibition about the skin condition.
"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🙋🏻♀)," the actor wrote in the caption.

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."
