"Hi guys! ❤️ Can’t show my full face as it’s a new film look, and I can’t reveal it before my film team does, as always. 😋 But the shoots are going really well - just wanted to let you all know.. ❤️
Also, another thing that I wanted to just talk about is the topic that was going around saying ‘she’s not taking ownership of her success and all that’ 🥺❤️
Ok, here’s the thing.
1- I know it comes from a place of love, concern, and worry 💘. We have delivered a massive film, and people loved it and appreciated it. I too wanted to take some time out to enjoy it, as every one of us wants to, but I was back on set the next day of my film release (being the amazing workaholic that I am 😋), and hence I was and am unable to do a lot of interviews or events out there. I am having to do these overnight travels for work, and I am shooting for some of the biggest and most intense films in my career ❤️.And as you’ll know, I can’t really reveal the look before my film teams do, and hence I am unable to take photos or post some posts or go live as per yours or my wishes. And I know you’ll are missing me and so am I 🥲❤️, but I know for sure that when the films DO release, I know you’ll all be super duper happy, and it’s all gonna be worth it!! 🥰 (I personally CAN’T WAIT for those moments ❤️❤️). So please have patience with me because you should know that I am doing my best, and I am happy doing so for all of you, myself, and my teams.. ❤️❤️
2- And now coming to ownership of the success .. 😄😄❤️
Guys, your love, the messages to me are what make me happy and keep me going honestly, and I saw them in abundance; and again thank you so much for all the love.. always. 🥹❤️
My team and my PR team spoke to me about how we should be active and all that.. but 1- like I already said the next day of the film release, I was back on set for my next film, so hence couldn’t find the time 🥺❤️, but next time on we will work on it.. and I promise.. ❤️ and 2- I just believed that good work will speak for itself and it DID.. and I CANNOT be more grateful.. ❤️ I am yet to thank you all for the love.. and I know I am late.. but I only wanted to do it when I come live, and I am still going to hold on to that for that day.. ❤️😙🤗
Also, I was surrounded by the most supportive cast and crew and the best fans, so I didn’t or don’t have anything to worry about.. I just love them.. 😋🫶🏻 they are the best! ❤️"
