"There’s this certain expectation from celebrity mums to lose weight soon after giving birth so that you can find work again... and it mostly comes from within the industry you are a part of. Honestly, it’s somewhat true that people don’t offer you work if you have baby fat.”

"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.
