Actress Edin Rose, who will be seen in a key role in the upcoming Rajinikanth starrer 'Jailer 2', recently opened up about the struggles she faced in Bollywood. She expressed her happiness working in South Indian cinema, calling the industry 'welcoming' while criticizing the Hindi film industry for body shaming.
South Cinema Made Her Feel Comfortable
Speaking with Mid-day, Edin Rose said she always felt welcomed in the South film industry. She shared that people there were open to giving chances to new actors. Although she is South Indian, she admitted she is still learning the regional languages. The actress explained that she never felt like an outsider while working there.
'Essentially, I am South Indian, but I don't speak the languages and I am right now learning them. So for me as a fresher, as a newcomer, I felt like it was really open. It was so easy to work with them,' she said.
'There were no barriers. There was no differentiation or anything along those lines. I had the talent, I did the auditions and I got the work. So it's been pretty smooth,' she added.

The actress also spoke about the problems she faced in Bollywood during her early days. She revealed that she lost projects because of her body type. 'I got turned down from a few projects here in Bollywood because of my body type,' she shared.
She explained that she was told to reduce her hips. She said it was unrealistic because it was part of her bone structure. The actress added that while weight can change, bone structure cannot. 'Because I am on the curvier side and I was told to make my hips lesser,' she said.
