No harm in doing fairness cream ads: 'Fair and Lovely' girl Yami Gautam

April 29, 2017 19:52

Actress Yami Gautam, who is the face of a fairness cream brand, says there is no harm in endorsing such products as long as they are not hurting sentiments.

Actor Abhay Deol had recently slammed Bollywood celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and John Abraham for featuring in campaigns on fairness creams.

But Yami says she will not choose her endorsements on the basis of someone else's ideology.

"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 said in an interview.

"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 that not being fair is something to be upset and sad about is not correct," she said.
