"I Did Not Even Know the Meaning of Compromise Then"

Aanchal Tiwari recounted, "I was asked to compromise. At that time, I had just come to Mumbai in 2018. Initially, I did not even know the meaning of compromise. When I was told I was selected for the TV serial and to come the next day to sign the contract, I was excited."

The Actress Cried After Learning What Compromise Meant

She continued, "Everything was decided, and then I got a message that I would have to compromise. They told me everything was set, and they liked me a lot, but I had to compromise. I didn’t understand what it meant, so I asked my friend. She explained it to me. I refused and cried a lot for the first time. My friend explained that this would keep happening now that I was in Mumbai."
