In this race to be perfect, to stay relevant, and to earn more, I lost myself.”
She further stated that however, She was enjoying success and fame but feels that something important is still missing from her life. “Money, fame, popularity- I had it all. But what I didn’t have was- peace,” she added. “What will you do with money if you’re not at peace? You may have everything externally, but if you’re empty inside, it’s a very dark place to be.”
