Life will take its toll on all of us. We get injured, we get old. It's really sad to try to run away from these harsh realities of life. Looks are not everything. I am not going to look beautiful all the time.
I always believed that my silence on several topics will be an advantage in the long run.
Right now, I'm following the Buddhist principle: Smile as abuse is hurled your way and this too shall pass.
I have always been a person who is extremely comfortable in my skin. I have always just been myself in all these years on the public platform.
I'm not the type who'll yell about my achievements from the rooftops.
It's unbelievable that people have the time and inclination to be as negative as they are on a public platform about people who accomplish whatever they do in the public eye.
I have a great story to tell... and I tell it well. No holds barred.
I am really OK with the way I look. It's fine. All this is transient. I mean, it's really, you know, it changes with time, and that's the external.
I'm just an average woman with average concerns.
My experience of being on the public platform got more multi-faceted, multi-dimensional, and my place in the public eye, I think, has always been a little more than just what is going on in that time in my life.
