TV
serial

In
a
candid
interview

Mahilaratnam,
Varada
shared
her
early
struggles,
highlighting
the
disturbing
phone
calls
and
requests
for
'adjustment'
in
casting
situations.
These
experiences
left
her
disheartened
and
led
to
missed
opportunities
in
the
film
industry.
Addressing
the
issue
head-on,
Varada
made
it
clear
that
she
firmly
rejects
any
such
'compromising
offers',
resulting
in
the
loss
of
numerous
acting

her
frustration
with
the
situation
and
even
contemplated
quitting
film
altogether
due
to
these
negative
encounters.
Furthermore,
Varada
shed
light
on
the
existing
politics
within
the
TV
serial
industry,
admitting
that
such
dynamics
are
present
in
all
workplaces.
While
aware
that
her
honest
response
may
impact
her
future
opportunities,
she
emphasised
the
importance
of
acknowledging
the
problems
that
exist
and
being
transparent
about
them.
Varada
also
shared
her
experience
of
being
removed
from
confirmed
serials,
confirming
the
prevalence
of
such
incidents
in
both
movies
and

Invitation
To
Participate
In
Bigg
Boss
Malayalam
Despite
receiving
an
invitation
to
participate
in
the
popular
show
Bigg
Boss
Malayalam
Season
5,
Varada
decided
to
decline
at
the
last
moment.
She
explained
that
her
open
and
straightforward
nature,
which
sometimes
led
to
misconceptions
of
arrogance,
prompted
her
to
reconsider
joining
a
show
like
Bigg
Boss,
where
she
may
struggle
to
control
her
emotions.
Asserting
her
stance,
Varada
questioned
the
necessity
of
showcasing
her
true
character
on
a
public
platform,
highlighting
that
she
values
her
emotions
and
doesn't
wish
to
expose
them
to
the
audience.
With
her
unwavering
honesty
and
refusal
to
compromise,
Varada
continues
to
navigate
the
industry
on
her
terms,
ensuring
her
integrity
remains
intact.
