She added, "I don't want to do anything and will never do anything (indicating not getting work done to her face). I really feel that the way you look as you get older is connected to how you feel inside. So, you have to work on feeling good, being peaceful, harmonious, and grateful. If you feel all that, that's what you will reflect on your face."

She wrote, "At the opening of the Jagran Film Festival in Delhi this evening … an invigorating panel discussion with the very talented Pan Nalin on the ethics of storytelling .. and also got to meet some lovely people from the fraternity ..
