During a talk with Pinkvilla, Ratan Raajputh shared, “I used to get many calls from South, some from very good directors, but along with that, they would add, ‘Ratan ji you have to put on some weight, you are very thin’.” She added, “Then the person said, ‘You already know the norms here’. I asked him about it and he said, ‘You know that in the industry, director, producer, and actor (lead only) and may be DOP..’. I asked him directly what about it and then he said, ‘You know, here you have to compromise’.”

Ratan Raajputh further revealed that she hasn’t received any South offer after that incident and continued, “What people are talking about Bollywood, that happens in South as well. The reason why South is still doing good work is because they still respect their culture, rituals, clothes and everything.”
