Popular television actress Ankita Lokhande said `keep shining` to every woman who has been told she is too much. Dropping a string of sizzling photos of herself posing in a black bodycon jumpsuit, the `Pavitra Rishta` actress shared on her IG: "To every woman who has ever been told she’s too much. Too loud, too ambitious, too bold. Thank you for never dimming your light. Keep shining. The world needs more of your fire.#noneedofvalidation."

Despite being a strong-headed woman herself, Ankita badly misses the presence of her late father, Shashikant Lokhande. On Wednesday, she remembered her father on his death anniversary with a special post. Ankita said that while it has been three years since her dad left for heavenly abode, it still feels like yesterday.

She took to her Instagram handle and posted a throwback family picture featuring Ankita, her mother, and her late father. “Some wounds don’t get healed..You just learn to hold them gently.. Three years have gone by, yet it still feels like yesterday.. I’m so grateful to have had a father like him my hero, my friend, my biggest strength," Ankita captioned the post.
