Mumbai, February 14: As the world celebrates Valentine’s Day with romantic gestures and declarations of love between couples, former actress and politician Smriti Irani offers a refreshing perspective. Known for her iconic role as Tulsi in the hit TV serial ‘Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,’ Irani took to Instagram to champion the idea of self-love on this special day.
In a stunning photo of herself smiling radiantly, Irani shared a profound message that resonates deeply in today’s fast-paced world. ‘In a world where love is measured by the volume of voices, promises of forever in roses, borrowed sparkle of candlelight, and greeting cards that speak the unsaid whispers of the heart – choose the quiet love. Love yourself. Without anyone, without applause, center your soul so deeply that no storm can drag you into the ocean of your own despair,’ she wrote.
She continued, ‘Make yourself your safe place, steady your heartbeat, make your home in yourself because when you find yourself, love will not feel like chasing something, it will feel like peace.’ This poignant post not only redefines love but also empowers individuals to build inner strength amid life’s challenges.
Fans have flooded the comments with heart emojis and Valentine’s greetings, clearly moved by her words. Irani’s return to television on Colors TV with her beloved serial has been a massive hit, tackling pressing social issues like body shaming and women’s empowerment. The show is giving tough competition to Rupali Ganguly’s ‘Anupama’ in TRP ratings, proving her enduring appeal.
Irani’s message serves as a timely reminder that true love starts within, encouraging everyone to prioritize self-care and resilience on Valentine’s Day and beyond.
