Vidya Balan is one Bollywood actor, who has rarely cared about prevalent taboos and stereotypes in the Indian society by choosing to play challenging roles in her films. On Friday, when the country was marking the Women’s Day, the popular actor took to her social media page and posted an unapologetic bold photo while wishing everyone on the occasion.
She wrote, “#HappyWomensDay to me and to you …and to us all ?! #ItsTime to #EmbraceYourself ? …. starting today if you’ve never done it before… #ItsTime to love yourself body,mind & soul.. just the way you are! Lets Not wait to become thinner or fairer or smarter or hotter or cooler or richer or more successful or anything that you are not already…before you can #LOVE yourself.”
She continued, “#ItsTime to say goodbye to every judgement that makes you feel lesser and #ItsTime to say #YouCanLeaveNow to the inner critic who says ImAmNotGoodEnough. #ItsTime to know that there’s no need to become the best version of yourself.You are the best you can be today…and 2mrw is another day…so you will be the best you can be 2mrw too.Best Not in comparison to anyone else.Just #TheBestYou…cuz how can there be a Best in a world of individuals !?? ?.”
The Dirty Picture actor then thanked the Instagram page Glowing Goddess Getaway, which had originally posted the bold photo, shared by Vidya. She wrote, “This picture inspired me to write this post so thank you @glowinggoddessgetaway ?. If you agree with me and feel like you want to share something ,please use the #ItsTime and tag me ?. Here’s to #SelfLove today & everyday.”
Glowing Goddess Getaway page claims to be about women’s camping retreat ‘celebrating cannabis as a creative & spiritual tool!’
Vidya had recently celebrated her 40th birthday with husband Siddharth Roy Kapur. She was also hailed recently after she refused to sell her soul for money to push the agenda of a political party for money in a Cobrapost sting operation.
