Abhay Deol's post on fairness creams' ads became a topic of discussion
in Bollywood. Numerous celebs expressed their opinion about it, whereas a few
stayed mum.
Yami Gautam is one of the few actors who has been endorsing
a fairness cream product since various years. When a famous tabloid asked her
opinion on the issue, she revealed, "It’s unfair to put someone in the
spotlight for something negative and overlook the positive things that they
have done. As for the issue of fairness cream ads, I have had meetings with the
brand and they have decided to revise the concept of their ads. Now, they won’t
show being less fair as something uncool."
She also told, "When we talk about individuality and
choice, it’s my life, my decisions… why question my credibility? I am a
self-made girl. I will not run my career on somebody else’s decision or
ideology. I have my own mind."
Yami went on to say, "The brand has the right to
advertise a product but you cannot show that not being fair is an upsetting
thing. You can advertise your brand, but showing not being fair is something to
be upset and sad about is not correct."
She further specified, "I am actually going to take
this debate about fairness creams in a positive way since now it will push the
brands to think about new ways in which the ads can be made."
