I too wanted to take some time out to enjoy it, as every one of us wants to, but I was back on set the next day of my film release (being the amazing workaholic that I am ), and hence I was and am unable to do a lot of interviews or events out there."
" I am having to do these overnight travels for work, and I am shooting for some of the biggest and most intense films in my career .And as you’ll know, I can’t really reveal the look before my film teams do, and hence I am unable to take photos or post some posts or go live as per yours or my wishes," she said.
She said: "And I know you’ll are missing me and so am I , but I know for sure that when the films DO release, I know you’ll all be super duper happy, and it’s all gonna be worth it!!"
