‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’ actress Soma Rathod has gained a lot of popularity with the portrayal of her character Amma Ji in the comedy-drama but she says that her journey as an actor was never easy and she had to face rejection and body shaming in her career.

Soma said: “My journey as an actor in this industry has been like a roller coaster ride. While one has probably heard stories of actresses going under the knife or undergoing weight loss regimes to get into this industry, my story is different as I had to gain weight.”

The actress shared that she was getting rejected in auditions as she was neither thin nor fat so she decided to put on weight. “When I decided to become an actor and started attending auditions, I was neither too thin nor too fat. Because I did not meet any of the criteria, I was rejected.
