Anita Hassanandani On The South Industry
The actor was asked about her experience working in the South during the conversation and revealed if the notion of them wanting women with big busts was true or not. She said, “I have not faced a casting couch as such. But the busty women myth may be there. This is because I was selected for an item song in a very big film, without taking names. But when I went on the set, they didn’t tell me I was not busty enough, but they told me that it was not working out.” The Yeh Hai Mohabbatein actor added, “But later the manager told me that they wanted someone heavier from the bust and bums.”

Anita Hassanandani further said, “It’s okay if they wanted a voluptuous woman. During those days, I was chubby when when it came to shooting the song, I had lost weight. So they expected me to look a certain way.” The actor further talked about her friendship with producer Ekta Kapoor. She said, “She’s a creative genius. She just knows what she is doing- be it casting, be it story.” Well, we love seeing the actor on our TV screens and we wish she would be back with a bang!
