When I came into films, I was reprimanded by the dance directors for my dance. ‘I have become a big heroine, I don’t know dance’.

Every producer was trying to make me fat. Producers used to tell me to eat, eat, be very thin. They wanted curves. At that time women with curves were considered beautiful and I had straight black hair and was thin.”
