In the post, she wrote:
"Since life isn't all about photographs, I'm going to start a 'reunion of friends'. The idea is to see who reads a post without a photo. If no one reads my post, it will be a very short experiment. But if you're reading this, make a one-word comment about how we met.
"After that, copy this message on your own timeline, and I will also leave a word for you. Please do not leave a word without bothering to copy the text afterwards. Brings back a lot of fun and memories! Let’s go."
The heartfelt message, which encouraged friends and fans to reconnect through shared memories, has now become a silent symbolic farewell for many.

“Your career is there and as a family woman, you will eventually have to devote your time to one, especially if you want to have a good home. The way I was brought up, I had this family thing around me and I just couldn’t afford to leave my daughter at the mercy of a maid. You can’t compare your career to bringing up your children.”
