NEW DELHI: Actor Kajal has shared a closeup picture of herself without any makeup on. Not only was she willing to show her real skin colour, what came as a surprise to many, was that she made no effort to hide her freckles too.

Sharing the picture, Kajal wrote a long note. She said: “People can’t discover themselves anymore. Perhaps because we live in a world crazed by physical attraction or because social media has swallowed up our self esteem in whom and what it glorifies. Billions of rupees are spent on cosmetics and beauty products that promise you the prefect body. Narcissism seems to exist everywhere. Between those lines, we try to join the crowd or feel left out. Yet the only way we can truly be happy is when we start accepting who we are rather than defining or carving a different image for ourselves. Although makeup beautifies our outer persona, does it build our character and define who we are? True beauty lies, in accepting ourselves for how lovely we are.”
