'It has worked like never before': Yami Gautam on how she healed herself from neck injury during lockdown

Many might not be aware but Bollywood actress Yami Gautam suffered through a neck injury during the coronavirus lockdown. Yami recently took to her official Instagram account and opened up about the same and explained how Yoga helped her recover and explore new things. 

Posting a black and white picture of herself in a yoga pose, Yami wrote, "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, nonstop 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 own self to bear it & like it said, the show must go on..."

She further added, "But this lockdown, I got to explore something which I couldn’t before! Every time 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.." 

On the work front, Yami was last seen in Bala opposite Ayushmann Khurrana.
