Bollywood actor Yami Gautam opened up on Sunday about recovering from her chronic neck pain which came as a result of an earlier injury. The actor took to Instagram to speak about her struggles and said that she practised Yoga to help herself out.
“This post is very personal… Having suffered a serious neck injury, Iv always had to be extra cautious – esp owing to the fact the amount of physical exertion due to dance , workout, non stop travel, physical activity, action, painful footwear etc etc & this list is endless, resonates with being an actor… somehow it’s always been about never expressing the pain beneath the surface & rather conditioning your ownself to bear it & like its said,,,the show must go on,” she wrote.
The actor, who was last seen on the big screen in “Bala”, posted a picture of herself doing yoga on Instagram and said that the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown helped her focus on her body and “heal” from the pain.
“But this lockdown, I got to explore something which I couldn’t before ! Everytime I would try practising Yoga, I would be left more in pain owing to my condition, hence my experience never encouraged me to continue.. but this time I self-tutored my way through & allowed my body to heal itself inside out and it has worked like never before ! This lockdown was not about ‘looking fit’ or ‘ workout of the day’ … it was the time where I listened & just went with the flow ! I am no expert (which you shall clearly see in the images) ! I took my first baby step towards this journey, which shall not stop,” she added.
She thanked her instructors for motivating her.
Yami will be next seen in “Ginny Weds Sunny”, co-starring Vikrant Massey. The romantic comedy is scheduled to be released on Netflix.
