According to her, it is an avenue to motivate people like her to deaden the fear of growth. She cited how due to the comic nature of her roles in movies, she makes use of clothes to increase the size of her tummy, in order to look the character.

She further cheered on to consistency, self-love, and becoming better everyday.

She wrote:
"Today makes it one year on my weight-loss journey. I didn't do this to impress anyone I did it for my health and myself. Journey continues

And if I can do it, you can do it too.
I also want to encourage people like me: don't be afraid of growth.

Sometimes my roles are funny, and I must act funny so I use clothes for my tummy to look big more to performance to sell the character.

It doesn't take away who I am; it's part of my craft I'm proud of my journey, my discipline, and my versatility. Cheers to consistency, self-love, and becoming better every day let go on another journey."
