Yami Gautam has never been one to mince her words, and she has now spoken out about fashion designers in the film industry who do not treat all actors fairly.
She stated that, while she had designers on whom she could rely completely, there were still a few who acted with difficulty. In an interview with a leading news portal, she stated, "I’ve had the privilege to have some really good designers I can lean on. But, even in the fashion industry, there are some high-end designers who don’t give you their outfits because you are not so and so. It is the entire system. I remember I heard that about myself once. That person said, ‘No, that lehenga is not for you’, and I was like ‘What, why?!’, and they said, ‘No, just doesn’t work with that designer’. It was so mean. I don’t understand what the criteria is, how can you make someone feel so bad? But it's not true for all designers, some of them are really good with their work and their attitude."
Yami revealed that this was the incident that motivated her to make a promise that she would never allow anyone to make her feel bad about herself again. And she had made up her mind that when it was her special day, she would do things her way. She had always planned to wear her mother's saree to her wedding because she feels so strongly connected to that emotion.
"That’s when I decided that never allow anyone to make me feel bad about myself. You are doing great in whatever you’re doing, and never try to fit in someone’s ‘attire’. I had it in my head that when it is my special day, it is going to be my way. It was going to be my mother’s saree, because the way I feel about it and connect with that emotion. Our rituals were very important to me, absorbing everything that we were doing was of utmost importance to us, and we did that," she said.
