CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal : Director Pankaj Parashar has made a shocking revelation about late Bollywood icon Sridevi, stating that filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma once pressured her to lose weight for a film, leading to dangerous consequences. According to Parashar, Sridevi went on a crash diet under Varma’s insistence, which ultimately caused her to faint and hit her head on a table. The incident highlights the extreme demands placed on actresses in the film industry, often at the cost of their health.
Sridevi, one of Indian cinema’s most beloved actresses, was reportedly preparing for a role when the pressure to slim down intensified. Pankaj Parashar, who directed her in ChaalBaaz, condemned the situation, stating that such expectations were unfair and harmful.
This revelation once again brings attention to the toxic body image standards in show business and the mental and physical toll it takes on stars behind the glamour. Fans and netizens have expressed concern and outrage, remembering Sridevi as a naturally graceful and talented actress who didn’t need to conform to unrealistic ideals.
The controversy has reignited debates around health, body-shaming, and accountability in Bollywood’s casting and production processes.
