Nilam Farooq: No, I was not bullied there, I rather bordered myself because I was very unsure about myself.I'm more of a curvy guy and had to accept that for myself.These were my topics.When I started working as an actress at 15, on the other hand, I immediately came into the drawer "foreigner background".Only then did it start.
