In an interview with Hindustan Times, Sandhya Mridul talked about the few cruel judgements she heard when she ventured into the film industry. The actress was called vampish and not voluptuous enough. She also recalled how once a filmmaker asked her to get a boob job done for a film. Elaborating on the same and sharing her reaction to it, Sandhya said:
“I was like I am not changing my body for you. Tomorrow you will come and say change your nose. I won’t do it. Someone told me ‘Aapke toh boobs hi nahi hai, sorry’. Mujhe bola gaya hai! For one film, they said, ‘We love you but we need you to have big boobs for the character’. I told them to go ahead and pad me.”
Sandhya garnered a lot of attention for her films, Page 3 and Ragini MMS 2. In the same interview, the actress admitted to padding herself for both films. Talking about the same, she shared:
“For Page 3 I wore (breast) pads. For some scenes I did it. Here, I said it. There are characters like in Ragini MMS where I only suggested she should wear pads because that is the character. But you cannot tell me to get a boob job. For Ragini MMS it completely made sense to me.”
