MUMBAI, Oct 27: Beauty and appearance play a crucial role in cinema and Swara Bhasker says in the initial days of her career she was rejected for “looking intelligent”.
“I think everyone who comes to the industry has to face certain kind of rejection for how they look. Otherwise people would not be spending so much money on the make up.
“All this is a reflection of a person’s mindset. The first meeting I had when I came to Bombay, a director rejected me saying, you look too intelligent. I have still not understood what does this mean,” Swara said on the sidelines of Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival where her movie “Shame” was screened.
Swara said it is best to ignore such things and focus on work.
“Shame”, directed by Anusha Bose, is a twisted journey of a meek, vulnerable woman who emerges from the background to unapologetically reclaim her dignity, confidence and her right to desire. (PTI)
