Yami Gautam BREAKS SILENCE on fairness cream controversy & racism: "I got calls at 4 am" | Bala

Yami Gautam has been the face of a leading fairness cream brand even before she made her foray into Bollywood. But soon after she debuted with Vicky Donor, the actress was slammed for endorsing a certain beauty standard and racism. Today, as she stands against the social ill in her next film Bala, that aims at normalising the otherwise ridiculous beauty standards that we have set for people, she breaks silence on her reason to endorse the fairness cream and reveals how she had a close door meeting with the team to discuss the issues. Watch the video to find out what she had to say.

Yes, I agree with you that only fair skin should not be called lovely. But Yami is not saying that only fair skin should be consider lovely. Yes, there were a lot of advertisements of fairness creams that did promote racism and bigotry against darker-skinned people. But now, things are changing. The way fairness creams are advertised is changing. Nowadays, the advertisements are way more sensible than what they used to be. Yami herself says that every color is beautiful. And, if a person wants a duskier skin and subsequently decides to use a tanning cream, does that mean he or she is racist against fair-skinned people? No. Absolutely not. In the same way, if someone decides to use a fairness cream in order to have a lighter skin tone, then that is his or her PERSONAL CHOICE. You or I or anyone cannot dictate what kind of beauty products can exist or cannot exist. If someone wants to tan his or her skin using a tanning cream or by getting a sunbath, then that is his or her PERSONAL CHOICE. In the same way, if someone decides to use a fairness cream to artificially brighten his or her skin, then that is also his or her PERSONAL CHOICE. And one last thing. Each and every person has the God-given right to live his or her life in the way he or she wants to live as long as he or she does not commit a crime. And that is why, I believe that FAIRNESS CREAMS ARE NOT RACIST. And if you say, fairness creams are racist, then tanning creams are also racist. Love from Kolkata. God bless you.

Deep Roy Choudhury Kolkata didn’t show “fair and lovely” ads enough? That brand is vile. Portraying a man or women is not worthy of happiness when it comes to job, marriage, or being loved due to their skin tone is disgusting. Ask the kids who grew up watching them. It’s mentally damaging. I bet the moment a tanning cream advertised the way “fair and lovely” did for decades it wouldn’t stand for a day in the market. But the British company knew what ticked Indians, it was embedded in the culture itself. Hatred towards dark skinned people.

We have such stunning actresses and she is one of the ones who is just girl next door average. Make the racist thing go away. And for those who say fairness creams is same as tannings, that is a stupid analogy and a false equivalence. If a person does not use tanning cream and stay fair in the west, no one denigrates them for being fair and projects them as unable to get jobs etc. It's not considered inferior not to tan and to stay fair. Whereas in India, people with sick mentality like her are spreading the message that it IS inferior to stay dark and not to try to get fair. She is disgusting.

If you don't believe in that you should stop promoting that brand.. giving such answers only shows how hypocrite you're. Like I don't know... there are plenty of beautiful, talented and professional actresses in the industry but still she gets offers (though pretty less these days). Her behaviour with Urvashi Rautela was really unprofessional in Sanam re.. your ads show a dark girl having all the qualifications to get a job can't get the job for her complexion.

It's not racism. It's called colorism.Racism is defined as belief of one race is superior than others. In India there is only one race. Fair ,brown and dark skin all belongs to one race. Check on Wikipedia about the definition of racism. Just above it, you can see " Not to be confused with colour discrimination ".Racial discrimination and colour discrimination are two different things. Just as caste system in India. Ambedkar once quoted " caste system is social discrimination within a race ".People are often confusing racial discrimination with colour discrimination.

Yami clearly doesn't know difference between tanning & fairness creams. India is not even a huge market for tanning because a lot of people want to be "fair." You are perpetuating colourism by promoting fairness creams.

they both promote changing color. nothing wrong with it. your choice to buy or not. cry about it

[@prairiehorse6168]

I think Yami is kind of tone-deaf or u r not getting why she got trolled. The issue here is that u being fair skin promoting fairness cream is not making sense that’s what people are saying. U are giving wrong information to darker skin color people.

Yami should be guilty for endrosing fairness cream

It's sad when people who should be having commitments to the society propagate the wrong ideas to people's mind.. What kind of value and moral do actors like her have?

Now any criticism is “trolling” - just say the truth - you do it for money and you dont care how it destroys peoples mental health and self confidence

[@sakuranovaryan9261]

Dude just say you did it for the money at least I can respect that....Covering it up makes you seem so complacent.

[@shanthala1345]

People who think she's not accountable for the brand are dumb af tbh. Virat Kohli stopped endorsing soft drinks cuz he thought they were unhealthy and don't want to sell lies to people who look at him despite the fact that he's gonna loose alotta money for it. This is class. Yami is a freakin hypocrite lol

[@candycandy9383]

Exactly, i can't believe people are defending her. She's ignorant enough not to own up to her mistakes, we don't need more like her.

[@riasharma3927]

Ohk Yami but tell me if Bhumi Pednekar had the guts to play the role of a dark girl, why you never play the role of a dark girl?? If you are not a colorist then atleast choose a movie in which you show your skin as dark.

[@riasharma3927]

Then you will get to know about people having dark skin and what struggles they go through in everyday life.

[@akshara487]

I have given her name "insecurity seller". Please don't call her pretty,that's kinda shallow. She doesn't deserve to be called pretty when she is shallow and insensitive to other people's insecurities. She knows that it gives people insecurity. She is like "It's ok, just love yourself". But she is forgetting that people's mindset doesn't work that way. It's just easy to say.

[@damosaviationandtravelvide2854]

A person is really kind and pretty only if their mind is pure and kind and they give some basic respect and kindness to the people in society

If our govt is so much consumer concious, then they should make a rule that celebrities can only endorse the product by using it at least for a year. Yami Gautam I am 100% sure never applied that cheap fair and lovely on her face.

“To show that not being fair is something to be unhappy about, that’s not right “ Then why do you tell dusky girls to use fair and lovely in your ads!!!???!!!

[@gurmankaur9345]

The direct answer is I do it for money only 😑😑😑

[@annmathew1411]

I really don't know which angle n talent she is an actress

[@vivver2634]

The simple reason is that she got a chance to model for a brand that has been endorsed by many big celebs...she did it...secondly she's not from a film background...although she s been there in the industry for quite some time with some good n some tiny n some forgettable performances....but still she is waiting for her breakthrough performance...so endorsing this brand definitely gives her certain visibility n also talk that goes around it...

[@pragnyap95]

I still don't get it? The point remains the same. Why is she still endorsing fair and lovely if she believes in what she says? It's ironica,l she is doing a movie like Bala, and then coming up with fairness creams ads saying "yeh deta hai hd glow"?! Practice what you preach!

[@afinitunto5709]

May be there was a time she did it for the money (or because she actually believed in fairness creams... Who knows). But now after all this success there is absolutely no excuse to keep endorsing that brand. She should have evolved beyond it by now. She didn't have a choice ten....but now she does and this is how she uses to use her voice! 😏😏😏

[@candycandy9383]

I don't care whether you are fair or dark. A healthy skin is always good for you. There are fair people with dull skin, similarly there are also black people with very healthy skin. Depends on the way you view things.

[@PoojaSharma-kf2wg]

Yami Gautam, just say you are doing for money. Got that. But take the responsibility of your actions and the negative impact it has been creating, is creating and will create in the furture on the young generation!!

[@nitikshasharma9263]

She didn't answered d question. Her ad shows that a girl got rejected for her interview coz of dark skin and after applying the shit called "fair& lovely" she got job. If every colour is beautiful than y is she still promoting dis shit. But at d end, wat matters is money.

[@anneeeev]

Someone for the love of God start a petition against her (as in, for her to disassociate herself w fair and lovely and to ban any brands that sell “whitening, lightening creams etc) and not JUST her, any celebrity that has in any way endorsed such brands or promoted these brands NEED TO BE FKN CALLED OUT.

Fight it all we want but adverts, products and celebrities reflect society. If we want and favor light or fairer skin, this will be reflected in adverts and products. If people are so upset about a brand, then stop buying it and if enough people don't buy it, the brand will change.
