If you are a fan of Luv Ranjan's Pyaar Ka Punchnama franchise, you surely know the characters and the iconic scenes by heart. Remember the 'Didi Tera Deewana' scene from Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (PKP2) which had Sonnalli Seygall dancing at a wedding?

The actress, who essayed the role of Chauka's (actor Sunny Singh) love interest in Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, has revealed that she was asked to go under the knife for a film.

Sonnalli said that she recently 'sacrificed' a role after a famous director from Bollywood asked her to 'make some changes on her body, unnaturally'.

"It was recently when I tested for a well-known casting director for a fantastic role. I was very excited for this audition and prepared myself really well because I really wanted to bag it! And I did! But on meeting the director, there I was asked to make some changes on my body, unnaturally!'' Sonnalli said in a statement.

"It was a no brainer for me to say no, even though my heart broke... But I would never put my body under the knife!" the Pyar Ka Punchnama actress added.

"I can't name the director as it was his vision, [but it] just doesn't work for me," she said.

The incident left Sonnalli batting 'emotional trauma'.

"I am an emotional person, so I did cry, but purely because I lost a great work opportunity. But on the other hand, I gave myself a silent pat on my back for not succumbing to the pressures around me," the actress said.

Pointing out the stereotypes that women are expected to fit into in Bollywood, Sonnalli said, "The problem is about conditioning and perception. A lot of us grow up having certain stereotypes about how a woman/man should look, or how a heroine should look etc."

"I think beauty and sex appeal is something very raw and natural, and it is sad that so many women feel the pressure to look a certain way just to feel and look sexy! But times are definitely getting better now and a lot of actors in our country are breaking that stereotype and I hope we continue that way!" she added.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (PKP2), the second part of the comedy franchise starred Kartik Aaryan, Nushrat Bharucha, Sunny Singh, Sonnalli Seygall, Omkar Kapoor and Ishita Sharma in the lead roles.

The multi-starrer film directed by Luv Ranjan hit the screens in 2015. The first part of the comedy franchise was released in 2011.

On the work front, Sonnalli Seygall is reuniting with her Pyaar Ka Punchanama 2 co-star Sunny Singh for the upcoming film Jai Mummy Di. She will also be seen in Aftab Shivdassani's film Setters, which will release on May 3 this year.
