Reem Shaikh is one of the youngest actresses to have created a space for herself on Indian television. After Ashoka, the actress returned to small screens with Tujhse Hai Raabta and while exclusively revealing all her firsts to Pinkvilla, Reem shared how she was rejected thrice from the auditions because she was 'CHUBBY.' Reem also revealed her first crush, first salary and first gift to herself during the conversation. 

I did after nearly two years of doing Ashoka. I will be honest, I did not take this break willingly. After Ashoka, nothing was working out for me. I signed ten shows and all of them got shelved and rejected for some reason. Auditions used to go amazing, I used to cry in them. I was almost going to give up. Then, Tujhse Hai Raabta happened and I was rejected three times because I was 'CHUBBY'", she expressed and added, "They finalized some other girl, did a mock shoot with her. Last moment, that girl couldn't do the shoot and they called me. I was in a bad mood the day they called me back. I cried in the audition, I got selected. That director told me I cried so badly that I made him cry and that I think is the best compliment I received."

Reem also revealed that she got Rs 300 as her first salary which is still with her. The young actress was all hearts as she bared her heart out. This is not the first time an actress on television has opened up on losing weight or being rejected for being on a healthier side. Check it out.
