Chaalbaaz director alleges Ram Gopal Varma forced Sridevi to lose weight: 'She fainted, hit her head, and lost a tooth'
Director Pankaj Parashar revealed that Sridevi's health suffered due to industry pressure to lose weight. Ram Gopal Varma's insistence on extreme dieting for 'Kshana Kshanam' led to a health scare during 'Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahin,' causing her to faint and halt production. Akshay Kumar confirmed the film's incomplete status. Behind the glamour and grace of Sridevi 's iconic career lies a troubling pattern of pressure and perfection. In a recent interview, Chaalbaaz director Pankaj Parashar opened up about the damaging impact of industry expectations on the late actor, revealing a disturbing incident where Ram Gopal Varma 's repeated insistence on weight loss led to a serious health scare. Ram Gopal Varma's Role in a Delayed Film In a chat with Friday Talkies, the director addressed the long-delayed release of his incomplete film Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahin, starring Sridevi and Akshay Kumar . He blamed Ram Gopal Varma for the setback, claiming Varma pushed Sridevi to lose weight during their work on the 1991 Telugu film Kshana Kshanam, prompting her to go on a crash diet that impacted her health and delayed other projects. A Crash Diet That Ended in a Health Crisis Speaking about the film, Pankaj further revealed that everything was on track until Ram Gopal Varma intervened. He claimed Varma constantly urged Sridevi to lose weight, leading her to follow a crash diet. She cut out salt, which caused her blood pressure to drop. Sridevi fainted, hit a table, remained unconscious for 20 minutes, and even lost a tooth—ultimately causing the entire shoot schedule to be scrapped.
