BBC The Apprentice winner showered in support for ‘raw and real' post
The Apprentice star Harpreet Kaur won the BBC competition in 2022
Former The Apprentice star Harpreet Kaur has been showered in support for her 'raw and real' post.
The entrepreneur scored an investment from Lord Alan Sugar in 2022, securing £250,000 for her dessert company Oh So Yum.
Not only did she find success from the BBC series, but also love, as Harpreet met her now-husband Akshay Thakrar on the show.
Since finding fame, Harpreet has kept fans updated with her business and her personal life on social media.
In a post earlier this week, she gave followers an insight into her life, going along with the 'Let me deinfluence you' trend.
She went on to post a series of snaps from her life, with the first revealing a screenshot from her photos app as she wrote: 'We all take 62527 pictures before we find one cute one. And yes somehow that's the cameraman's fault for not capturing our 'true beauty' in one shot.'
She went on: 'We all have bad skin days/weeks/months. Nobody feels or looks their best at all times.'
Alongside an image of her breakfast, she wrote: 'No-one has the perfect aesthetic life. Yes that's a chip in the bowl. Yes that banana isn't even sliced properly. No this is not in my new balanced lifestyle diet but I didn't care as I just needed to get food in my belly.
'Sometimes you look confident but actually on the inside you feel completely different. I hated how my dress fit me here, felt huge, didn't like my hair or make-up. I always remind myself that these are such superficial things that really do not matter in the grand scheme of things.
'A relaxing break sometimes just means you have more work to get back to. Everyone is always juggling so much and sometimes I feel guilty for even thinkingggg I am busy when there are so many people out there juggling more. Eg how do all the mums and dads do it?! I have no excuse.'
She concluded her post by saying: 'Never compare yourself to anyone you see online. The nature of social media is that we are all guilty of posting only the bits that we want others to see - but that's no different to going out in public and putting your best face on. We all have a vulnerable side to us.
'Don't ever feel less than anyone else because you think they are achieving more, or seem more confident, seem more successful, seem happier than you. Social media is a small snippet of someone's world … use it as inspiration not comparison.'
'This is so beautiful- you're so right! I can relate girl thank you for sharing xxx,' influencer Serena Kaur Ojalae replied.
TV chef Nisha Parmar added: 'Love this! Raw and real! Miss you! Hugs.'
'You are so right. It's nice to see real life people and feelings on socials,' one fan also wrote.
Another said: 'Great post Harpreet! It's really refreshing to hear these things and this vulnerability from someone who's a high achiever and in the public eye, so thank you. We can all learn to take what we see on SM with a (big) pinch of salt :).'
'This is so true and so real love it thank you!!' someone else said.
After winning The Apprentice in 2022, Harpreet split from Lord Sugar and then parted ways with her £300,000 company the following year, but later insisted she has no regrets.
She recently told Metro: 'I wouldn't say I have any regrets. I'm a no regrets person from a personal and professional front. I honestly think that everything that you encounter, achieve or don't achieve in life, it's just a life lesson.
'So I have no regrets, but a hell of a lot of lessons that will only guide me, shape me in my future and actually I really hope to be able to share some of those in the future in different formats that can help me inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs, or even as a South Asian woman, to help others feel confident that you've just got to give it your best.
'We're all human, we're all going to make mistakes and if we approach everything with, 'I don't want to regret this one day,' we're never going to get anywhere. So no regrets, but lots and lots of lessons.'
