Tejasswi Prakash recently revealed that she bagged a Rohit Shetty movie. Recently being seen in Khatron Ke Khiladi, many think that she bagged the film after the reality show. Although, Tejasswi has revealed that it was not the reason. 

It all happened when her show Pehredaar Piya Ki became a part of controversies due to the content and storyline. Tejasswi was paired opposite young child actor Affan Khan. Makers had to pull the plug on the show as people objected to Tejasswi’s character getting married to a 9-yr-old boy. The show however, returned with a leap of the male actor turning in his teens.

Tejasswi revealed the entire controversy helped her get noticed. She said, “The content was bashed but people were like, ‘Who’s that girl’. That’s how I got Rohit Shetty’s film. I didn’t receive any backlash. The film happened after Pehredaar Piya Ki. So in a way all the hype helped me. It opened a lot many doors for me.”

She also compared her controversial show to now running Barrister Babu, which also deals with child marriage. She shared, “It is a brilliant concept. They have shown the show in a different era. This show has an eight-year-old girl getting married to a young man. So in India, it is ok for a girl child to get married but not a boy.”

That controversy was hyped for no such reason. The viewers could have choose to tune into something else but no they had to make a mountain out of a mole. Anyways, it turned out well for I could see Tejasswi in a variety of roles after that...
