Yami Gautam got the opportunity to work for an ad film and also faced rejection. She shared that she walked in for the audition of an ad film and there were 6-7 girls like her who were given different looks. After the makeup artists were done with her makeup she politely told them that she did not look like herself. They threw glances at her and did not take her seriously.
