Elucidating on the same Chitrangda during her recent interview with a leading Indian entertainment tabloid told, “I did lose out on modelling assignments. In fact, when I lost out on one ad in the initial days of my career, I was specifically told the reason as it had come down to selecting between two people for the part.
