"I tend to gain and lose weight easily. After my first show Dadi Amma, Dadi Amma... Maan Jao, we were at home during the lockdown and I again put on a few kilos. I then landed a role in Anupama and was playing Nandini. We were working so hard the entire day that it was not possible to go to the gym for regular workouts. I also enjoy eating, but the pressure was always there that if I gain weight, I may not look good on screen." said the actor.
Anagha further continues saying, "So, the constant battle to stay thin followed by an unhealthy relationship with food, began. Every time I saw a tasty dish or something was placed on my plate, I felt guilty about eating it. I was always scared that I would put on weight. Since I had already gained a few kilos, the struggle to lose that was anyway on. The whole situation got worse when I actually felt like throwing up whatever I ate, so that I don't put on weight. This was unhealthy and it affected my mental health. That's when I realised how the pressures of showbiz along with unhealthy competition and politics were too many. Many people would compliment me in person saying, 'Anagha you are quite thin in real life, but on TV you look quite chubby.' This was affecting me and I realised that I had to fix this obsession to look perfect."
The actor after quitting the show went on a solo trip to Mayapur near Kolkata. She says, "I quit showbiz because I wanted to focus on my spiritual goals. I feel refreshed and am a better person after my solo trip."
Anagha also reveals her future plans saying, "I am going to pursue a course in Nutrition. Since the last two years, I was constantly battling weight issues, I want to learn and teach people to eat healthy."
