The actress also mentioned that she sometimes avoided water to fit into a specific dress due to water retention. Charu shared:
"Initially, when I separated from my Rajeev, I wanted to take up work as soon as possible. When I went for auditions and meetings, I was told that you are overweight, have a lot of face fat, and should practice running daily to get back in shape. I have my needs and I wanted work, so I followed a strict diet and exercise routine. While shooting, I was not eating food. At times, I was even avoiding water to fit in some specific clothes due to water retention.”
Further, in the interview, Charu Asopa shared how the strict diet took a toll on her health. The actress shared that she used to feel dizzy and puckish due to excessive heat and sweating.

"In my case, I had to start working soon after having Ziana. I wanted to take it slow and enjoy this process, but I didn’t have that luxury, so I was put on a strict diet and workout as I was helpless.”
