The moving video, that has now gone viral, shows the award-winning actress sorting out some of her old books when she stumbles upon a childhood photo of herself. That’s when she begins pondering what she wishes she could tell her younger self today. Would she like chhoti (younger) Radhika to talk less and study more? Or not cry after losing that fancy-dress competition? Or would she tell her how fantastically her life was going to change in the future? None of the above... All she’d like to tell her younger self are two simple words is — You’re beautiful. The video, part of the #Unblushed series by YouTube channel Blush , then shows the older Radhika dismissing traditional norms set by society, especially the definition of ‘a well-behaved Indian girl’. Unpretentious, genuine, and honest, this is a message every woman needs to hear, so that she appreciates herself better, and can go out there and break records and set milestones for herself.
