Neha Dhupia recently spoke openly about the difficulties she has faced in casting discussions. She bravely shared her own experiences, remembering times when she was criticized for her weight. Even though the roles she was discussing were temporary, she was told she needed to lose weight to match specific character expectations. She admitted that these conversations were tough.


Neha Dhupia was 'fired from a show' for being pregnant,


Neha Dhupia spoke to Zoom and said, "When I joined the business, there was a stereotypical mold that women were supposed to fit into and if you didn’t fit into that mold, then you are not good enough. Now everyone is so diverse, casting is so real, but you know things still happen. I have been fired for both having a sharp face and not willing or wanting to lose 7 to 10 kg of a body that I thought was super fit in my definition.”


"When I was pregnant, I was fired from a show that I was on, and there was no news of that show being shot for the next 8 months. When I went and revealed to them that I was pregnant and told them that they were not shooting for 8 months, they just said no, we don’t want to work with you. I am talking about people who have said and done unreasonable things, but I am ok now; at that time, it bothers you." She further added.
