She further added that the pressures of keeping up with the unfair game are something that both, insider and outsider, of the film industry, have to face. However, she emphasized the need to fight back by citing her own experiences and shared that 'the more they tried to bury me, the harder I fought back'.
It can happen to someone born within,an “insider” as I can hear insider/outsider words,some anchors blaring away.But you fight back.The more they tried to bury me,the harder I fought back. Dirty politics happen everywhere. But sometimes one roots for good to win,and Evil to lose. https://t.co/NMIkUgkLbW

One has to pick up the pieces,walk again and again,with the head held high. Goodnight world.I pray for a better tmrw."
