With this transformation, I have set myself free, free from limitations and intending to break the beauty standards that the world has set upon us and I do it with a lot of courage and faith in my heart!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today, I also carry the memory of my late husband close, in his blazer that still holds his warmth,&#8221; she added to her post.<\/p>\n<p>While a section of the Internet loved her bold look, another section criticised her for defying norms.<\/p>\n<p>A user wrote, &#8220;Ye kya kiya&#8230;long hair is beauty of South Indians&#8230; and you have done this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t have a mindset, that one has to be like this and that buddy,&#8221; Shanthi Priya replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DIQY_pMz7SV\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/><p><!--#VuukleAD--><\/p>\n<p>Before taking this bold step, Shanthi Priya had initial doubts that if it would impact her choice of work as society is conditioned to look at actresses in a certain way.
