Yami
Gautam
amid
the
lockdown
in
2020,
indulged
in
practising
yoga
which
she
had
struggled
with
in
the
past.
The
actress
in
an
Instagram
post
had
revealed
that
she
had
a
tough
time
with
the
fitness
form
due
to
a
permanent
injury.
Now,
during
an
interview,
she
revealed
more
details
about
the
hit
and
run
accident
that
caused
it.
Yami
was
left
with
a
permanent
neck
injury
after
an
accident,
which
she
rarely
talks
about.
Recalling
the
accident
she
told
the
Bombay
Times
that
it
happened
when
she
was
heading
to
the
university
in
Chandigarh.
"I
was
on
the
highway
riding
my
two-wheeler
when
the
car
ahead
gave
the
wrong
signal.
The
driver
signalled
that
she
would
be
going
right,
but
instead,
turned
left
and
knocked
me
down.
The
car
sped
away
without
stopping.
It
was
very
quick
and
too
sudden
to
register
what
had
happened.
I
am
thankful
that
I
was
wearing
my
helmet.
I
was
unable
to
move
and
could
have
been
run
over
by
another
passing
vehicle.
However,
a
man
pulled
over
and
helped
me
get
back
on
my
feet."
Yami
also
revealed
that
in
college,
her
classmates
used
to
make
fun
of
her
helmet,
but
she
felt
lucky
to
have
been
wearing
it
that
morning
as
it
saved
her
life.
About
the
injury,
she
revealed
that
she
didn't
suffer
any
external
injuries
as
the
accident
took
place
during
winter
and
she
was
wearing
many
layers
due
to
the
weather.
But
the
accident
left
her
with
an
internal
injury.
"The
doctors
told
me
it
was
a
fracture
in
the
neck.
At
that
point,
I
realised
how
serious
the
injury
was,
especially
when
they
told
me
that
I
would
never
be
able
to
work
out
in
my
life.
Back
then,
I
wanted
to
be
an
IAS
officer," she
said.
Yami
revealed
that
as
an
actress
she
always
has
to
be
careful
that
the
injury
does
not
resurface
and
added,
"I
obviously
want
to
be
professional,
be
on
my
toes
and
be
able
to
do
all
kinds
of
activities,
so
through
the
years,
I
have
been
taking
precautions
to
avoid
a
relapse."
Yami
added
that
she
began
practising
Yoga
during
lockdown
to
help
heal
the
injury
from
within
for
longer
relief.
"With
yoga,
I
am
indeed
getting
better,"
she
added.
