Yami Gautam felt offended when a designer refused her an outfit: ‘So mean’
Yami Gautam has uncovered that she was once told that a particular lehenga was not for her, adding that some “high-end designers” in the industry will not give their outfits to anyone and everyone. Yami also shared that not all designers act in the same manner. Yami is currently seen on Dasvi that lands on Netflix on Friday.
Asked about not wearing a designer lehenga for her recent wedding, Yami told Indian Express, “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, but there is always a rotten apple. ”
She added, “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.”
