Neha Dhupia Opens Up About Losing Job After Pregnancy Announcement: 'They Said We Don’t Want To Work With You'
Neha Dhupia revealed her experience of losing a project upon sharing her pregnancy news with the show's producers. Speaking to Zoom in an interview, the actor and chat show host refrained from mentioning specific individuals but recounted instances of comments regarding her physique. She disclosed that her dismissal was not solely based on her appearance but also on her refusal to comply with demands to lose weight. Neha, along with her actor-husband Angad Bedi, are proud parents to daughter Mehr and son Guriq.
Neha Dhupia revealed, "When I joined the business, there was a stereotypical mould that women were supposed to fit into and if you didn’t fit into that mould, then you are not good enough. Now, everyone is so diverse, casting is so real, but you know things still happen. I have been fired for both having a sharp face and not willing or wanting to lose 7 to 10 kg of a body that I thought was super fit in my definition.”
She further added, “When I was pregnant, I was fired from a show that I was on, and there was no news of that show being shot for the next 8 months. When I went and revealed to them that I was pregnant and told them that they were not shooting for 8 months, they just said no, we don’t want to work with you. I am talking about people who have said and done unreasonable things, but I am ok now; at that time, it bothers you.”
Neha Dhupia is the host of the celebrity talk show ' No Filter Neha .' Additionally, she is poised to mark her debut in the OTT series arena with ' Therapy Sherapy ,' a quirky show delving into contemporary human relationships through the lens of a nuclear family.
Expressing her enthusiasm, Neha was recently quoted by news agency PTI, stating, “I am thrilled to be part of this wonderful project that not only marks my debut in the OTT series space, it's a fun concept and I can't wait to explore a whole new gamut of quirks that the project and script tied in with it.”
