Anupamaa star Chandni Bhagwanani reveals she received death threats, says 'Get into depression...'

Actress Chandni Bhagwanani who played the role of Pakhi recently revealed that she received death threats and was body shamed.

Television actress Chandni Bhagwanani who plays the role of Pakhi in Anupamaa recently revealed that she received death threats. The actress who has been part of popular shows like Roop, Kohi Apna Sa and Amrita Ka Amrit among others spoke her heart out about how she was subjected to body shaming and brutal trolling during her stint in Sanjivani. The actress played the negative role of Dr Asha Kanwar in Sanjivani.

In an interview with Times Now, Chandni said, 'I was body shamed; there were comments about my personal character, like what kind of girl I am. My parents used to get messages, and I also received death threats. So, I couldn’t process it. I thought that I would get into depression because I was unable to handle it'. She claimed how trollers affected her and she went live on the Instagram and bashed them.

Chandni said, 'Aap socho agar apke photo pe 10 comments hai jispe se 4 comment apki body pe hai, 2 comments apke character pe hai. It felt like somebody was saying that to my face. So, I could not handle it.'

The actress revealed how she left Anupamaa as the show took a 15-year leap. In another interview with Times Now, she mentioned that it was time for her to move as she would not suit the character anymore. She played the role of the mother of a 22-year-old girl. She revealed that the makers did not force her to continue with the show. She said, 'The makers didn’t even force me to do that. They were kind enough to understand that I wouldn’t look like a 22-year-old girl’s mother. I have always been told that I look chotu (small). So, this was like the most obvious choice'.
