Expressing herself on the same, the actress wrote a lengthy note that read, "My experience with cancer was the most painful not because I couldn’t take the physical pain or limitation, but because how my own people have wronged me, been insensitive towards me, forgotten about me, not checked on me.. and even judged me coz I fended for myself."

"I think I’m a stronger person today coz I don’t care what others think of me and that has been the biggest liberation. No expectation = no disappointment. Nobody has a perfect life and neither do I, so my own discomfort or the restrictions, I can deal with.. and being sensitive towards my own needs is the first step towards happiness," she added.

She concluded by stating, "No, I’m not there yet, I’m not there today, and I’m still taking baby steps, but I’ve come this far.. 2 years.. by just taking one day at a time.. what’s to stop me from going all the way! Happy birthday to Chhavi 2.0."
