And on her birthday, she penned a note on defying all odds, and reaching the ‘peak of her career’, at the age of 34, contradicting the idea of a ‘shelf life for women’.

She also talked about how, contrary to society’s belief, she needs no man’s surname or company to achieve success and at 34, she is at ease with both, her body and sexuality. 

Now that’s a message everyone can agree with!
