She is happy that she understands and respects her feelings. She also encourages girls to feel comfortable about whoever they are and their body.  

Rowan doesn’t like the way the world tries to shape a girl life since she is kid. Making fun of girls for crying, bashing them for their arm hair and always trying to judge them aesthetically makes no sense to the Young Artist Awards nominated actress.

Commercial actress turned star Rowan says she never set out to be an actor although her father was associated to a theatre. She was a kid like any other kid who liked being center of attraction. Her parents didn't encourage the idea of Rowan joining acting initially. They were afraid that rejections in acting may affect Rowan badly. However, Rowan made it in such a young age, first through acting in commercials and later through rocking auditions for major projects.
