Aarthi Agarwal is a genuinely nice girl in tinsel town. She minds her own business and is professional to the core.

Now, back after a hiatus, Aarthi has been much more forthcoming than she was before. She is more ready to talk about her weight problems and the insults thereof.

"I knew I had put on some weight. And even before that people were talking. I think it's the way the industry runs. My mistake was that I gained weight and I had done three-four films at a time, never concentrated on my work out and figure. People were writing so much that I was not getting roles because of this," she says with a touch of bitterness.

But more than the media, she is cut up with some filmmakers, especially the maker of Nenunnanu, the film in which she was pejoratively called gas cylinder.

"I was offended about the way they went calling me a gas cylinder. It wasn't Nagarjuna's fault. I have no clue what happens while we shoot. I don't know the language and that went against me. It was silly and immature on their part to do that. And for Nenunnanu, I was told a different story and was shown something else."

So it was not just her figure but also the fact that she didn’t know Telugu worked against her.

Moral of the story: Lack of knowledge of Telugu is a weighty problem.
