Bollywood is a strange place and there have been plenty instances to prove this. But today we have a confession by Radhika Apte that may leave you wide mouthed. In an interview Radhika recently revealed how she lost out on a big Bollywood movie, which went on to become a blockbuster. While the Padman actress did not reveal the name of the movie she gave details of what really cost her movie. Apparently after signing on the project the actress was on a vacation. She returned back to meet the makers and discuss her part in the film. On seeing that the actress had gained a few kilos, Radhika was kicked out of the film.

According to Radhika’s confession, she had two months to shed the 4 extra kilos that she had gained. However, her director was not to keen and instead the film fell into another actress’ kitty. Radhika also revealed how the movie went on to become a blockbuster and Radhika was ecstatic on bagging the movie because it had come to her after a huge struggle and some tough times.

Not just Radhika, recently Sonam Kapoor too in an interview talked about how one of her actor boyfriend had once fat shamed her. Of course, Sonam dumped the hero and moved on to find her life partner in Anand Ahuja.

However, Sonam did discuss weight issues of Bollywood heroines. The actress confessed how she panicked on gaining a few pounds post her wedding while on a holiday with husband Anand. While Mr Ahuja tried to pep the actress up and even called her “anjeer”, Sonam was not very happy with her nickname or then the figure on the weighing scale and quickly started working on her body.

Coming back to Radhika, the actress has often been open about her struggles in the industry. Not so long ago Radhika had talked about how a southern superstar had behaved inappropriately with her while working on a movie. This revelation had got everyone guessing and till date every time we talk about the #MeToo movement in India, Radhika’s confession is widely discussed.
