Recently Mannara Chopra revealed that few years back she got rejected for a fairness cream commercial. In her interview with Siddharth Khanna, Mannara told that despite of her clearing three audition rounds, the ad was to begin the shooting, but she developed pimples on her forehead overnight, and she got rejected from the commercial.
Mannara said, “I auditioned for the ad. I did one round of auditions, and I got shortlisted. I was called again for the second round. Again, I was further shortlisted. Then they called me one day prior to the shoot to see the final thing… last ki do girls bachti hai na, unhe selection karna hota hai (the last girls among which they choose). To unhone mujhe uske liye bulaya (They called me for that reason) and I got selected again! After three rounds I was supposed to go on set.”
She further added, “Just overnight I got pimples and acne on my forehead. By 4’o o’clock in the morning when I reached Madh Island… this area (pointing towards her forehead) was full of pimples. They tried to do some cut light, but it didn’t work out. I was sent back from the set. That was really disheartening… woh meri life ka sabse pehla rejection that (that was the first rejection of my life). A lot of people say that they don’t want to do fairness things but I really wanted to do it, I will be honest. I remember I went home and I started crying for crying that I got rejected for these stupid pimples.”
Mannara became the second runner-up in Bigg Boss Season 17. Munawar Faruqui won the title of Bigg Boss 17.
