Yami Gautam recently recalled the time when a senior make-up artist asked her to change one of her eyebrows. She stated that the suggestion was given to make the eyebrow shape in a way so that the curve can be removed, as that would make her look edgier and cooler. Yami also shared that her heart sank after she heard the advice. The actress then told the makeup artist to move on and get ready. The star also revealed the reason why she never opts for aesthetic surgeries.
In an interview with News18, Yami Gautam said, “I was told to change one of my eyebrows – that it needs to be shaped in a way so that the curve can be removed as that would make me look edgier and cooler. They perhaps wanted my eyebrow to look like two snails approaching each other from either side (laughs)! He was a very senior make-up artist. My heart really sank and I just told him that we should move on and get ready.”
While talking about why she decided to never opt for aesthetic surgeries, Yami Gautam added, “It’s about perspective also. But that’s not the idea of beauty for me. For someone else, it could be an editorial call. When you see somebody that looks that way on a magazine cover, it may look really cool. But I’m an actor. When you see me onscreen, you shouldn’t have to focus on why my face, cheeks or lips is looking unnatural. That can’t become a distraction.”

“Even if I wasn’t an actor, I wouldn’t have undergone any such procedure that alters the structure of my face or puts anything I don’t believe in into my skin. At that moment, it could make you look good but it could’ve consequences later. It’s also something that you need to do again and again. But duniya bahot badi hai. To each, his own. If it makes someone happy, that’s great. But if someone’s doing it under pressure, that’s sad,” she added.
Yami Gautam was last seen in Dhoom Dhaam, which was released in February on Netflix. The movie also featured Pratik Gandhi in the lead role. The actress will be next seen in HAQ opposite Emraan Hashmi.
