Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain Fame Soma Rathod AKA Ammaji Reveals Getting Rejected When She Was Fit

Soma Rathod has made her place in the Indian television industry with her comic timing. The actress shot to fame with her stint in Lapataganj and May I Come In Madam? But it was Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, which earned her the household name of Ammaji. In a shocking revelation, the actress recently shared how she didn’t get any role when she wasn’t overweight.

A few days back, Soma‘s older picture went viral on social media and everyone was in shock to see her younger version. She looked unrecognizable, as she used to weigh much lesser and had a fit body. As a surprising revelation, the actress shared that when she was fit, she didn’t get any roles. She started getting assignments when she put on weight.

In a talk with Times Of India, Soma Rathod said, “I wasn’t very fat or very thin, I was in the mid-range when I started auditioning for roles and visiting the casting agents. Not too thin, not too fat. I wouldn’t fit any criteria and got rejected because of it. Then, one of my friends suggested that I put on more weight, at least, I will be categorized in the oversized actors’ list. After that, I gained weight and I started getting work.”
