Every woman out there needs to know that she is perfect the way she is. And today being International Women’s Day, Vidya Balan decided to pen a post that tells us it is time to embrace ourselves.

Se began her post with, “Happy Women’ s Day to me and to you …and to us all.” And she continued writing, “#ItsTime to love yourself body, mind & soul.. just the way you are! Lets Not wait to become thinner or fairer or smarter or hotter or cooler or richer or more successful or anything that you are not already…before you can #LOVE yourself. #ItsTime to say goodbye to every judgement that makes you feel lesser and #ItsTime to say #YouCanLeaveNow to the inner critic who says #ImAmNotGoodEnough . #ItsTime to know that there’s no need to become the best version of yourself. You are the best you can be today…and 2mrw is another day…so you will be the best you can be 2mrw too. Best Not in comparison to anyone else.Just #TheBestYou…cuz how can there be a Best in a world of individuals !??“And this is how she concluded– “Here’s to #SelfLove today & every day.

This one particular picture by Glowing Goddess Getaway inspired her to write this post.
