Actress Anjali Sivaraman has opened up about a surprising reason why she lost out on some acting roles being considered more attractive than the lead actors. In a bold and honest statement, Anjali revealed how her looks sometimes worked against her in the film industry.
Anjali Sivaraman Says She Lost Roles For Being ‘Too Attractive’
Anjali narrated her story on being replaced in some projects and stated speaking to Bollywood Bubble, “I hate sounding arrogant in these part but then it just a fact. I haven’t got certain roles because they were secondary character and I was more attractive than the lead so I didn’t end up getting work. This has happened few time where I have not got the work for that particular reason.”
She added that this wasn’t a one-time thing but has happened multiple times in her career. While beauty is often seen as an advantage in the entertainment world, Anjali’s experience shows a different side one where being “too attractive” can actually become a problem.
“In this industry, we have the power of hair and makeup, and this film (Bad Girl) is the perfect example to show you how it can completely change your appearance,” she concluded. However, the actress believes in the power of transformation in cinema. She pointed out how hair and makeup can completely change how a person looks on screen.
