MUMBAI: Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain fame actor Soma Rathod has opened up about her struggle in the industry and revealed that she used to spend days without food. She would just have two glasses of lemonade-- in the morning and the evening --to save up enough for her daily commute.
Emphasising her struggling days, she asserted, “My days of struggle were really tough. I would leave my house with only ₹100. I could either pay for food or the travel. I used to take the local train from Borivali to Andheri, spend ₹3 on a lemonade, drink it and then roam around Andheri for photoshoots, auditions and meetings. I would again drink the ₹3 lemonade at Andheri station around 7-8 pm and then eat food only when I reached home at night.”
"People would often tell me that they are looking for someone slim and I am too fat. At times, I was told I wasn't fat enough and they were looking for someone fatter. So, I was neither slim nor fat." Soma further told the Hindi daily that friends would also offer her advice to get rid of the fat," she added.
This is not the first time that Soma opened up on her struggles. Earlier she said, "One of my friends suggested that I put on more weight, at least, I will be categorised in the oversized actors' list. After that, I gained weight and I started getting work."
