Words from her –

“Don’t push yourself into a zone where you set unachievable targets for yourself. I was able to lose weight in a happy state of mind because I would not starve myself. Food makes me happy. It’s for the soul….”

The actress further adds, “It sounds fancy but I never went to a dietician or a nutritionist. Till now, it has only been my mother and me.
