“I know many never understand why I take time off movies for a few years and then come back and do it again! I see fans asking when I’ll be back on screens, but when you’ve been working since you were 15 like I have, you’ll do good to Relax, Relive, Relearn and Recharge. Who understands and who’s following,” she wrote.
