Yami Gautam has been endorsing a fairness brand for the longest time now, and for exactly that amount of time, she has been questioned and trolled without stopping for taking up that brand. Yami never really spoke up or cleared out her part to these trollers but now she has finally broken her silence and spoken openly about it.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Yami said that not many people know what goes on behind the camera. The actress said that even though she is endorsing the brand she never shied away from speaking about it. It all blew out of proportion when she became famous after doing ‘vicky donor‘ with Ayushmann Khurrana.
She said that she had discussed this with the fairness brand owners, she said, “I told them, forget being a brand ambassador, the fact is that you can promote the brand but to show that not being fair is something to be unhappy about, that’s not right.”
Talking about her experience of being trolled she said, no one understood the consequences of being trolled. She said that she would get emotional when she was trolled. She has journalists calling her at odd hours questioning her about the controversy.
She said she thinks all skin colours are beautiful and that she is looking forward to ‘Bala’ that also deals with the obsession with fair skin colour along with premature balding. Yami Gautam will be starring opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in ‘Bala’ that will hit the theatres on November 7.
