Bhavana reveals

In an interview with Mid-Day, the Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives star spoke about dealing with trolling. She said, “I used to get very hurt. I used to think how can they say these things? But I have developed a thick skin and we tend to focus on the negative. Let’s be honest, there is a lot of love also she has got. People come up to me and tell me how much they love her and how much they love her work”.

After getting into the spotlight, Bhavana shared that her attitude towards her friends has not changed. She said, “I’ve realised success comes and goes. I have seen it in my own family. Chunky has been through it. You cannot get carried away with that. Humility is the most important. That is the only thing that will take you places. For me, being a nice person, and being respectful, sensitive, and empathetic, those qualities matter more than success. Yes, I’m very grateful she’s doing well but at the same time if you’re not a nice person all that doing well goes out of the window”.
