Chandni Bhagwanani Received Death Threats During Sanjivani: 'They Commented On My Character, Body Shamed Me - Exclusive

Actors are often trolled, criticised, looked down upon and more for their posts, their opinions and also for their closeness to a particular co-actor. The audience often forgets what they see in a TV show is not real life. They criticise, troll and cross all limits when it comes to their favourite reel couples. Chandni Bhagwanani, who played the role of Pakhi on Anupamaa after Muskan Bamne's exit, has also been a victim to the trolls and brutal remarks. The actress is currently holidaying in Thailand. She recently shared how she became a victim to online trolls where things went out of hand as she also received death threats. Talking exclusively to Times Now/Telly Talk India, Chandni shared the inside details of the incident that occurred when she was a part of Surbhi Chandna and Namish Khanna's Sanjivani.

Chandni on receiving death threats Chandni recalled the incident and shared how she received massive backlash while she was shooting for Sanjivani. The actress mentioned how the trollers left no stone unturned to belittle her that they even body-shamed her; she was also given death threats on social media and more.

Talking to us, she says, "I was body shamed; there were comments about my personal character, like what kind of girl I am. My parents used to get messages and I also received death threats. So, I couldn't process it. I thought that I would get into depression because I was unable to handle it." For those who've come in late, Chandni played the role of Dr. Asha Kanwar in the 2019 show Sanjivani. The show saw Surbhi Chandna, Namit Khanna, Mohnish Bahl, Gurdeep Kohli, and Gaurav Chopra in pivotal roles.

She adds, "Aap socho agar apke photo pe 10 comments hai jispe se 4 comment apki body pe hai, 2 comments apke character pe hai, people are calling you slut, bitch, and whatnot. Such vulgar language is how you might feel if you see such comments. It felt like somebody was saying that to my face. So, I could not handle it. I used to go on Instagram Live and bash my fans because I was so annoyed." Chandni on Madalsa being trolled for calling Rupali 'Two Faced' During our conversation, Bhagwanani spoke about the environment on Anupamaa sets. The actress talked about the clash between Rupali Ganguly and Madalsa Sharma. Speaking to a media portal, Madalsa had called Rupali 'two-faced' and her comment went viral on social media, which received a lot of criticism. Speaking about the same, Bhagwanani reacted to the same as she also raised questions on the audience's mindset. She says, "I saw a lot of memes about her comment on social media and I was a bit upset as fans don't understand. They make TV shows their life, and they forget that this is not real life. We are playing our parts. So, when you work with someone with more than 4 years and you spend your 12 hours together in a close space. You can have your fight with anyone, your friends, or your parents and you cannot expect it if you work with someone for such a long time." Also Read: She added, "You might have disagreements with each other; you will fight and then be okay. Starting mein sab acha-acha hota hai, even relationship mein sab acha-acha hota hai, so when any situation comes, you get to know the real self, and you get to know how someone would react. Even Madalsa must have gone through something. So that can happen with anyone." Concluding the conversation, Chandni shares what kind of bond she shared with the cast of Anupamaa and the environment on the set. "It is a happy and fun environment on sets; this is what I feel. People are nice; we all have lunch together. I did not spend much time on set and as far as I have seen, it was chill," says Chandni. "Rajan sir used to come on set once or twice a month as a producer to check if everything was okay. As a producer, he fulfilled his responsibilities," concludes Chandni.
