Chennai, Dec 19 (NationPress) - Renowned actress Vijayalakshmi expressed her thoughts on aging, sharing that while many cautioned her about entering her forties, no one prepared her for the freedom, clarity, and strength that accompany it. She boldly stated, 'If this is aging, I’ll embrace it.'

In a recent post on her Instagram account, she shared a fitness picture and wrote, 'They warned me about my 40s. Nobody warned me about the freedom. The clarity. The strength. Best headspace. Best shape.'

Continuing her thoughts, she mentioned, 'I’m finally doing everything I delayed in my 20s, without needing anyone's permission or apologies. If this is aging… I’ll take it. #earned #not #given #happy #soul.'

The actress, who recently received accolades for her role in the Tamil film 'Middle Class', is known for sharing her insights and experiences with her Instagram followers.

This year, Vijayalakshmi fondly recalled how her young son surprised her with his profound understanding of love and divinity. Reflecting on a time when they quarantined due to the flu, she revealed, 'We paused our routines and focused on healing with comforting meals. The highlight was introducing Nilan to some of life's treasured movies.'

She admitted that engaging her son with slow-paced Tamil films was a challenge, yet she succeeded. 'Yesterday, we watched 'Kannathil Muthamittal', and today, it was 'Anbe Sivam'. Nilan is the perfect movie partner, fully immersing himself in every emotion. When he senses an emotional moment, he curls up to me, seeking the safest haven.'

After 'Anbe Sivam' concluded, Nilan sat quietly. She asked him, 'What is God, Kanna?' He kissed her cheek and replied, 'It’s you, Ma... You are love. Love is God. So, you are God.' That unexpected answer earned him full marks in her book.

Vijayalakshmi concluded her heartfelt post by stating, 'As a mother, I prioritize the kind of person he becomes over grades or material achievements. My true gift to the universe is nurturing Nilan’s happiness in every breath he takes.'
