Sonnalli revealed she had to turn down the role when an anonymous Bollywood director was trying to persuade her to ‘make some changes on her body, unnaturally’.

The actress poured her heart out, "It was recently when I tested for a well-known casting director for a fantastic role. I was very excited about this audition and prepared myself really well because I really wanted to bag it! And I did! But on meeting the director, there I was asked to make some changes on my body, unnaturally!''

"It was a no brainer for me to say no, even though my heart broke... But I would never put my body under the knife!" the 29-year-old actress added assuredly. "I can't name the director as it was his vision, [but it] just doesn't work for me."

The incident indeed put Sonnalli in serious emotional trauma. "I am an emotional person, so I did cry, but purely because I lost a great work opportunity. But on the other hand, I gave myself a silent pat on my back for not succumbing to the pressures around me.”

Concerning the Bollywood’s tendency to get women “shaped in size,” Sonnalli said, "The problem is about conditioning and perception. A lot of us grow up having certain stereotypes about how a woman/man should look, or how a heroine should look, etc."

"I think beauty and sex appeal is something very raw and natural, and it is sad that so many women feel the pressure to look a certain way just to feel and look sexy! But times are definitely getting better now and a lot of actors in our country are breaking that stereotype and I hope we continue that way!" she continued.
