She said, "I used to get a lot of calls from the South film industry and very good directors called. They told me to gain weight because I was thin. They asked me if I knew the norms of the South industry. When I asked which norms, they told me the same norms which everyone knows about it. They said 'Director, producer, lead actor and maybe DOP.' So I asked what about them. They said 'You know it's very common here to compromise.' I told them 'No, I am not interested.' So as we say this all happens in Bollywood only, then no it happens in the South film industry also."

The Bigg Boss 7 fame continued, "South is doing good work only because they have not ignored our culture. Even now they respect our clothes, our religion, our rituals, and everything but that doesn't mean that there's nothing happening in the South industry. I haven't received a single call from the South industry where I have not been told to 'compromise'. Sometimes they don't mention DOP but lead actor, producer, and director these three are always there."
