Aashka Goradia, popular Instagram influencer and television actor is handing out valuable advice to women who are aspiring to free themselves from the burden of log kya kahenge. Haven't we all been pressured under this tiring exclamation that expects women to do all that we don't want? And for what, just because society would judge us? Goradia asks her social media followers to "NOT waste your time thinking what others make of you, what you make of you is the best version there ever could be."
Sharing pictures of herself from her beach vacation with husband Brent Goble, the Kkusum actor wrote, "there is no bigger sense of freedom than allowing your state of mind to be free of "log kya kahenge"... Be humble, be kind and hold space for people but not their judgements. RISE ABOVE. One life and live it the way you desire. Celebrate yourself..."
