There was a Tamil film I was doing and I was thrown out of the film...I remember my parents had come with me because they were so worried about me...I had really begun to fade. We went to the producers office. The producer showed us the clippings from the film and he said, 'Just look at her, does she look like a heroine. He said 'I was not in favour of taking her at all, it was the director who insisted."

"I felt ugly...I felt like sh*t for months and I don't think I looked at myself in the mirror... I didn't like what I saw because I thought I was ugly...For the longest time, I did not forgive that man, but today, thanks to that I realized that I have to love and accept myself the way I am, “ she told the leading portal.
