Harleen Sethi
Indian actress discussing acne, self-image, and audience support.
“And I feel like my love for myself actually grew because the audiences gave me so much love and they were accepting me. And that was so much validation that I was like, they are saying I'm beautiful. Maybe I'm beautiful. And that's how my journey towards vanity even started or even like taking care of myself.”
