“I see age as a badge of honour. Turning 50 is a privilege. It means I survived, I learned, I grew. Why would I hide that? Every year represents strength and experience.”
She added, “Society tells women to fear aging, but I believe we should celebrate it. A wrinkle is not something to hide, it’s a story of a life fully lived,” said Somy, ahead of her 50th birthday on March 25.
