She wrote, “Work out with! me I’ve been facing some of the worst hormonal issues with my PCOS and endometriosis – women know it’s a tough fight with imbalance and bloating and metabolic challenges – but instead of looking at it as a fight, I choose to accept is as natural movement that my body goes through to do its best and I say ‘thank you’ by eating right sleeping well and enjoying my work out.”

The actor added that she knew her body wasn’t perfect right now but she has chosen to have healthy outlook about it instead of worrying about it. She added, “My body isn’t perfect right now but my heart is. Keep fit keep happy and let those happy hormones flow!!! I know I sound a tad preachy but it’s been such a journey to accept these challenges and not let them define me. So, I’m so happy to share this with all of you.”

Fans applauded Shruti’s take on dealing with the disorders and her positive outlook. One fan commented, “Keep it up, continuously.” Another wrote, “Impressive attitude.” Many others praised Shruti’s workout as well.
