I was advised to remain fat to keep getting work, felt hurt: Deven. 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai' actor Deven Bhojani recently recalled receiving "bizarre" advice despite taking on versatile roles, after years of being typecast. "The most bizarre advice that I've received is that, 'You shouldn't lose weight; otherwise, you won't get roles'. I was like, I'm not cast because I'm fat. It's because I'm a good actor. I was really hurt," he said.
