Being married does not affect woman's beauty, professionalism: Surveen Chawla

Actress Surveen Chawla who surprised everyone by unveiling her married status after keeping it under the wrap for two years, says she in a way, purposefully did that to break the myth of married women in the entertainment industry. She believes that marital status of a woman does not affect her beauty and professionalism.

The actress, who will be seen in the upcoming web series Haq Se, was present for the trailer launch of the show along with the star cast and producer Ekta Kapoor, on Wednesday, 10 January.

Asked what made her keep the marriage a secret affair, Chawla replied, "Well, I wanted to break the myth and I wanted to take time to be prepared about saying it. Being a part of this (entertainment) industry, we are conditioned in a certain way. I strongly believe that being married has nothing to do with my profession. It does not make me less beautiful, less charming or sexy. Being married does not make me a less artiste or a professional [sic]. I am an entertainer; I will entertain you, irrespective of my marital status. That should matter."

Director Ken Ghosh, actor Rajeev Khandelwal, Rukhsar Rehman, Simon Singh, Pavail Gulati, Aanchal Sharma, among others were also present on the occasion.
