‘I was jobless, my clothes didn't fit me and I was getting trolled': Neha Dhupia shares how husband Angad Bedi supported her through tough times
Neha Dhupia has dabbled in various mediums in her decades-long career in the entertainment industry. But a lot of backlash and criticism has followed her everywhere; first, it was for her choice of films, and then, it was for her appearance. During an episode of the Durex podcast hosted by Abhay Deol, Dhupia appeared alongside comedian Sumukhi Suresh and talked about the several challenges that come with fame, and how she dealt with constantly being in the public eye. While talking to Sumuki about trolling, Abhay Deol asked Neha about her experience with online hate. She talked about being put in a box in Bollywood, and how she has been misunderstood by the audience. 'I had to convince people to accept me because I got judged for the roles I did in my early days in the industry. It's been eight years since the 'It's her choice' thing happened and even now, if I go wrong anywhere, people flood the comments with the same thing. Nobody understood the context of what I was trying to say.' She was making a reference to a comment that she made on the show MTV Roadies, where she was perceived to be justifying a woman's adultery.

'Whatever I am learning or unlearning now is because I have started prioritising myself and being comfortable in my skin. Even when I put on a lot of weight after having a child, my husband made me feel comfortable in my own skin. He would compliment me all the time,' she said. She added that Angad's support for her, though expected, was almost bizarre to her because she herself didn't feel confident in what she was doing and how she looked. She added, 'In my head I used to think that I'm jobless right now, whenever I step out I get trolled, and my clothes don't fit me. I came from a background of beauty pageants, and these things used to matter to me, I am not going to lie. But now, finally in my 40s, I feel like those things did not matter, and I feel the best version of myself,' she said. Neha, who is continuing her run as a judge on Roadies, married Angad in 2018, and the couple have two children. Angad, who is also an actor, is the son of famous Indian cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi. He has worked in films like Pink (2016), Soorma (2018) and Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020).

Abhay Deol was seen taking over as the DJ of a plush club in Gurugram. The actor, known for films such as Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobara and Dev D, left fans swooning with his DJ moves on May 16. Glimpses of the actor from his night at the club are going viral. Though Abhay Deol refrained from posting about it, his videos from the epic party night are doing the rounds on the web. In a casual T-shirt and pants with sunnies, the actor set the tempo of the club with upbeat music. He focused on his DJ console and avoided eye contact with the guests. The club's social media handle also posted a consolidated video of their celebrity DJ in the house from his past stints.

'He is in his Dev D arc", wrote an user, referring to his look. 'I find him so so hot", commented another fan. 'Likely place for him to be. He's so hot," said another. However, another section of fans wondered whether dearth of work has led to Abhay try out DJing. 'Itne bure din aa gaye hain?", a fourth user questioned. Abhay has worked in critically and commercially successful projects such as Socha Na Tha, Ahista-Ahista, Shanghai, Netflix show Trial By Fire, and others. However, the actor isn't working on a lot of projects of late. In 2019, Abhay Deol revealed why he has been working on fewer projects. He told Mid-Day, 'No one is giving me any work. The kind of content I want to be part of, is hardly made. At the same time, I have not closed myself to anything. As long as it excites me, I am game for it." 'It is a choice I have made. The kind of stories I like often comes from debutant directors. So, to ensure that the film sees the light of day is a long process in itself," Abhay added. He further told the newspaper, 'I haven't bagged awards or made any landmark project, so there won't be much to celebrate. If you go against the mainstream narrative, you do not get the [desired] visibility." First Published:
