There are several beauty standards and norms set by society that define how a woman should be leading her life.

In an incredible show of power, Akshay Kumar's Saugandh co-star, Shanthi Priya, went bald. She even donned her late husband's blazer, freeing herself of all the limitations.

It takes a lot of courage to break free from the 'log kya kahenge' mentality, especially when you're a public figure like Shanthi Priya. But it's equally liberating when we finally do what our heart desires. Recently, the Mere Sajana Saath Nibhana actress broke the internet when she decided to shave her head.

Priya took to her Instagram and dropped powerful images of herself sporting the bald look like a boss. She embraced her new look with confidence, calling it her way to set herself free. In the caption, she also shared her experience of going bald. The artist penned, "As women, we often set limitations in life, go by the rules, and even keep ourselves caged."
