Shafaq recently revealed in an interview that she was turned down for a job due to a slight weight gain.

Recently interview with news portal, Shafaq said, “Once I was at an audition where they clearly told me that they couldn’t cast me because I had put on some weight. I was shocked to realise that even just a few kilos matter when it comes to getting work. I can’t imagine what other girls who are chubby or heavy go through on a daily basis. Some time ago, I was going through some health issues due to which I gained weight. That made me feel very conscious about my own body for the first time. This happened because we actors feel the pressure constantly.”
