‘I was cast in 'Zeher', then replaced’ : Shonali lashes out at Mahesh Bhatt on Bigg Boss 5 for replacing her in ‘Zeher’ since she wasn’t a known face.

‘I was cast in 'Zeher', then replaced’ : Shonali lashes out at Mahesh Bhatt on Bigg Boss 5 for replacing her in ‘Zeher’ since she wasn’t a known face.




Ever since Mahesh Bhatt walked into the Bigg Boss house for the special purpose of casting porn star Sunny Leone in his next film, Shonali was noticed to be visibly disturbed by his presence



Once Bhatt had concluded his absorbing interview with Sunny, he allowed Shonali to voice herself as she surely needed to clarify something



On given a chance to speak, Shonali reminded Bhatt of the time when she was cast in his film ‘Zeher’ opposite Emraan Hashmi. It was supposed to be Shonali’s big Bollywood break until she was told 8 months after being cast that she was rejected as the financers of the movie required a known face for the female lead



Shonali was replaced by Shamita Shetty in the film ‘Zeher’ and that had torn her apart completely and she broke into tears even while confronting Bhatt about it. Bhatt quickly grasped Shonali’s hand and comforted her and apologized, begging that he wasn’t even aware of this casting incident




While Shonali seemed to have come to terms with this bitter reality of having lost out on her big Bollywood break, she didn’t seem much convinced by Bhatt’s defense
