Further, in the caption, she shared how beneficial Yoga has been for her through the lockdown after she learnt it properly.

She wrote, “Having suffered a serious neck injury, I’ve always had to be extra cautious - esp. owing to the fact the amount of physical exertion due to dance, workout, nonstop travel, physical activity, action, painful footwear etc etc & this list is endless, resonates with being an actor... somehow it’s always been about never expressing the pain beneath the surface & rather conditioning your own self to bear it & like it’s said…the show must go on”.

Further adding, “But this lockdown, I got to explore something which I couldn’t before! Every time I would try practising Yoga, I would be left more in pain owing to my condition, hence my experience never encouraged me to continue... but this time I self-tutored my way through & allowed my body to heal itself inside out and it has worked like never before!”
