The actress shared glowing picture and captioned saying it is perfectly fine to prioritise yourself.

"I have redefined the term 'selfish'. Looking after oneself is important and this includes both the physical and emotional aspects. It is okay to be sad. We are multidimensional beings. The emotional aspect matters a great deal to me. It pulls me down and manifests itself in my body. So, I now emphasise that it is perfectly fine to prioritise yourself."
