Erica Fernandes reveals she was replaced in Bollywood films by ‘known face’s child’: ‘Nepotism happens..’

She continued, “And then all of those contribute to whatever experiences or how you kind of proceed with whatever comes next.  So when I came from movie to TV again, people questioned me why from movie you’re going to TV. For me, that didn’t matter because for me, my work is my work, and I take pride in my work, be it any platform or any format. I came to TV.”

The actor said, “I know what I have dealt with in the past. I’ve gone through a lot because of being thin, and it has cost me a lot of projects. It has cost me my self-esteem. But again, see, with those kinds of rejections and everything that happened, it just made me stronger. It just helped me to deal with things in a better way.”

Erica is currently seen in Amazon Mini TV’s latest show Love Adhoora.
