Told the reason for getting the role in ‘Bell Bottom’
Anjali Anand said in an interview to SCREEN that she was cast in Akshay Kumar’s film Bell Bottom only because in one scene of the film, a terrorist is caught by falling on her. She said, “I get offered such roles just because I am fat. It hurts when people just make fun of my weight. They don’t even look at whether I am a good actress or not.”
Said this on obesity
Anjali said that many people form opinions just by looking at her body. She said, “According to some people, I do not fit into the beauty standards. But such people also find faults in actresses like Deepika Padukone and Aishwarya Rai. Even stars like Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan have faced criticism. The words of such people do not change my truth.”
After ‘Rocky Aur Rani…’ I started getting similar roles.
Anjali told that after the love story of Rocky and Rani, she has started getting similar characters. He said that his character in the film raised his voice against body shaming, which was rarely seen in films earlier. The actress said that earlier plus size characters were used in films only for fun. He said, “Earlier, the meaning of a fat girl was limited only to the scene of eating too much food, eating burgers or someone falling on her. No one showed that such a character can also have its own voice and identity.”
