When Yami spoke about the fairness cream controversy

Yami had told Pinkvilla that for people, it just looked very easy that a certain amount of money was paid and that someone became the face of a brand. She had mentioned that she was the brand in the capacity of a model and that she had never said no to any comments or had never put up statements saying that she wouldn’t respond to any question. However, things had turned upside down post Vicky Donor, and Yami had a meeting with the brand and had expressed concern, she had said. 

She had spoken about her meeting with the fairness brand owners and had remarked that she had told them that showing not being fair was something to be unhappy about wasn’t right.
