Actress Mamta Mohandas opens up about embracing vitiligo

Malayalee Mamta Mohandas has had a tough few years as she battled with cancer, Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and now vitiligo. In a recent Instagram post, the actress opened up about her journey with vitiligo. Sharing a sun-kissed selfie, Mamta wrote, “Dear sun, I embrace you now like I have never before. So spotted, I’m losing color… I rise even before you every morning, to see you glimmer your first ray through the haze. Give me all you’ve got for I will be indebted, here on out and forever by your grace.”
She held a cup as she drank a beverage while sitting on a chair in the garden. She opted for a black ensemble – a black T-shirt, tights and a jacket. She also added the hashtags--colour, autoimmune disease, autoimmune, vitiligo, Sunday, spotlight, imperfection, no makeup, no filter, embrace the journey, healing and heal yourself. Mamta geo-tagged the location as Niraamaya Retreats Samroha in Kerala.
Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes the appearance of white patches on the skin triggered by the lack of melanin. Mamta also shared a video of her on the way to a movie shoot and wrote, “With new colours added to my every day, I shift my focus on the new year with vast new opportunities that await me.” Mamta added that her colours might be brand new but she was still the same person.
