Arti wrote, “Bachpan se hi confidence ki kami thi. Apne AAP ko kam Samajhti thi . School mein sab Moti Moti bulate the. Sab ladkiyan Patali Dubli tab love yourself wala zamana nahi tha .. duniyan ki nazron se khud ko dekhte the. English Tutti phooti .. pata hi nahi life mein hona kya hai . Phir apne AAP Bhagwan ne ungli pakdi aur Yahan aayi . Worked hard. Did not get recognition till Bigg Boss.” ("I lacked confidence since childhood. I used to think less of myself. In school, everyone used to call me fat. All the girls were slim, and back then, it wasn’t the era of ‘love yourself.’ I used to see myself through the eyes of the world. My English was broken... I had no idea what I would do in life. Then, God held my hand and brought me here. I worked hard but didn’t get recognition until Bigg Boss.”)

Arti about her self-acceptance journey

She further added, “People said kaam acha karti hai kaam mila nahi even after Bigg Boss, and aaj bhi kabhi kabhi sochti hun kami kya hai. Kismat ya talent . But I never gave up na tab na ab. This is just to tell it’s not making reels and looking pretty is everything. We all go thru battle which no one knows. Just be kind and still be grateful for what we have. And I’m very grateful this write-up is just a feeling that I’m feeling.” (sic)

The Maayka actress concluded her post saying, “And I’m happy and proud of myself where ever I’m award and reward actually is when god gives u tht and appreciate u. I truly believe guruji is very kind to me and I’m loved by god. God’s child.” (sic)
