2:16Now PlayingAnjali Anand, who played the role of Ranveer Singh’s sister in 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' recently opened up about the body and beauty standards of Bollywood. During a conversation with The Hindustan Times, the actress shared that she feels Bollywood is still a victim of toxic beauty standards. 'It’s not just the showbiz industry, even the audiences will not be very happy with a heroine if she looks like me. It is a very hypocritical world that we live in. Everybody wants to see a toned body and fair skin on screen. Sabse zyada seetiyaan item number par hi bajti hain. That is the world we live in and that is the truth nobody wants to accept.' She further stated, 'I don't think it is the industry's problem, it is everybody's problem. We need to move ahead in life and not think about petty things like how a person looks.' The actress also mentioned that despite garnering immense love and appreciation for playing the chubby and plus-sized character in the film, she does not want to get 'stereotyped' and 'play something more challenging and unbelievably different type of roles'. On the professional front, Anjali will next be seen in 'Penthouse' alongside Bobby Deol, Mouni Roy, and Arjun Rampal. For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
