Mumbai | Actress Nandini Sharma, who plays Riya in the show ‘Faltu’, recalls her initial days in the entertainment industry and how she faced rejections for being overweight. The actress opened up about missing out on being offered a lead role in a South project because of her weight.

He added: Struggle is a part of an actor’s life, but when it comes to dealing with rejections, it is not easy at all. I can say this because I have lost many projects because of my weight and that thing demotivated me a lot. Many times I used to get rejected even before auditioning. I remember I was very excited about a big project down South, but I was turned down for the lead role because of my weight.

Nandini, who has also featured in the web series- ‘Jambaz Hindustan Ke’, said that the rejections she faced due to her weight had a big impact on her.

He said, the rejection really disappointed me. I keep losing weight, but getting fit is a difficult journey. Slowly, I learned to deal with rejections but never stopped giving auditions because I was passionate about becoming an actress. Even today I control my diet and do workouts every day.

He stressed that actors should not be judged on the basis of their looks or weight.

I think it is high time that actors should not be judged on different standards of beauty. Such rejections affect a person a lot.(IANS)
