issues
a
warning
before
she
shares
a
beautiful
thought
for
the
day.
She
posted
a
picture
of
herself
as
a
child
and
as
a
teenager
on
social
media,
and
starts
with
the
warning
first:
‘Warning:
Don’t
troll
my
9
year
old
self.’
Then,
she
continues:
‘So
wild
to
think
about
what
puberty
and
grooming
can
do
to
a
girl.
On
the
left
is
me
at
my
awkward
pre
teen
era
with
a
“Boy
cut”
hairstyle
so
it
wouldn’t
be
cumbersome
at
school.
‘(Thanks
ma
@drmadhuakhourichopra)
I
went
from
a
“katori
cut”
to
this.
so
it
was
a
win.’
‘And
on
the
right
is
me
at
17,
having
just
won
Miss
India
in
the
year
2000
and
basking
in
the
glory
of
hair,
make
up
and
wardrobe..
Both
pictures
taken
less
than
a
decade
apart.
‘As
Britney
Spears
very
articulately
put
it..
I’m
not
a
girl,
not
yet
a
woman.
That
was
exactly
how
i
felt
then,
entering
the
big
world
of
entertainment.
‘Almost
25
years
later..
still
figuring
it
out.
Though
,
aren’t
we
all?
‘Looking
back
at
my
younger
self
often
makes
me
kinder
to
myself
today.
Think
about
your
younger
self
and
how
much
she
has
done
for
you.
‘Love
yourself,
you’ve
gone
through
a
lot
to
be
where
you
are
today.
‘What
did
your
younger
self
do
for
you?
‘Post
your
#growupchallengen #mondaymusings.
‘Thank
you
to
who
made
this
side
by
side
picture
and
sent
me.’
