Los Angeles, Feb 14 (TIWN) Actress Lana Condor, who rose to fame portraying Lara Jean Covey in the To All The Boys I've Loved Before franchise, says these movies have been a huge part of her life for years, and have been very integral to how she is today as a young woman.

“These movies have been such a huge part of my life for years, and have been very integral to how I am today as a young woman. It almost feels like you’re saying goodbye to a part of yourself,a Condor told The Hollywood Reporter.

The actress also shared that she was shocked by the huge success of the first movie and found fame difficult to adjust to.

She said: “We honestly made it as an indie. So we didn’t even know if anyone would see it or pick it up let alone have the reaction it had on people. It’s a very weird thing to watch your life change for the better and for the worse right before your very eyes in a very short period of time.”
