Have you ever felt discriminated against because you are not stick-thin?
Never.

Do you feel that every actress must look like a model?
I don't like too-thin people. I think actors should look decent, not too fat.

Ekta Kapoor threw an actress out of her serial for putting on weight. Comment.
I don't think so. She got me back even after I had my child and put on so much weight. I'm sure there must be some other issue.

Do you feel that you lose out on roles because of your body type?
Yes, I do. I was supposed to do two commercials, which I had to turn down because of my weight.

Are you thinking of losing weight for personal or professional reasons?
Yeah, I'm working towards it, for both personal and professional reasons.

Do your friends have a special nickname for you?
Moti.

Delnaaz Paul.

One person you think desperately needs to put on weight.
Shilpa Saklani.
