I was just focussing on my acting. I didn’t care. I just did not want to look in the mirror. I hated myself so much. So, it was a very negative feeling that I used to get. I remember trying costumes for my shoot the next day I just felt like whatever.”
She further says, "I didn’t bother about all those things. I didn’t want to look the best. I didn’t feel like looking the best. At the end I spoke to my audience they always spoke the way I acted.
