3. Anushka Sharma
Anushka Sharma, though she’s one of the leading ladies in the industry, has also faced a lot of criticism for her looks. She said that she had faced rejection since the age of 15. Even while casting for her debut film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Yashraj Films honcho told her that she wasn’t very good-looking but was being given the role because of her talent.
4. Nandita Das
Nandita Das is not only known for her Hindi movie performances but is also appeared in films in more than ten languages. The actress spoke about the kind of roles she is repeatedly offered. She has been quite vocal about how she hates the colourism in Bollywood and is even a part of the Dark Is Beautiful campaign.
5. Taapsee Pannu
Taapsee Pannu has also been the face of rejection in the industry, unfortunately. The actress says, “I was told, ‘You are not beautiful and glamorous enough’, ‘Oh no, you’re too serious an actor’… ‘You’re not good enough an actor’, ‘You are not so and so’s daughter’. I was even told, ‘You are not a big marketable name.'”
