Sherlyn entered Bollywood in the year 2005. His 2007 film ‘Red Swastvik’ created a lot of buzz. At the age of 28, she became the first Indian woman to appear on the cover of the adult magazine Play Boy. But there was a lot of controversy over her nude pose.

Sherlyn Chopra, whose real name is Mona Chopra, was born in 1984 in a Christian family in Hyderabad. She is known for her bold image and controversies. His untold story is full of bitter truths hidden behind the glamor of Bollywood, where being an outsider he had to face many challenges.

Childhood spent in Hyderabad

Sherlyn’s childhood was spent in Hyderabad, where she completed her schooling. She was focused towards modeling and acting from the beginning. In 2002, he debuted in Tollywood (Telugu film industry) with the film ‘A Film by Aravind’, but he did not get many offers from there. Then he turned to Bollywood, where he started with films like ‘Time Pass’ in 2005. But here too the path was not easy. As an outsider, where star kids get opportunities easily, Sherlyn had to face rejections again and again. She says that there is a lot of favoritism in Bollywood. Due to nepotism, talented outsiders are sidelined.

Are your breasts real?

The darkest part of Sherlyn’s untold story is the casting couch. She tells that in the initial days of her career, directors used to ask her strange questions, like ‘Are your breasts real? Can I touch? Once a married director misbehaved with her, about which she says that the director was not happy with her arranged marriage and kept harassing her. Sherlyn reminded him of his marriage, but such incidents had a deep impact on his mind. Additionally, during the MeToo movement in 2020, she accused KWAN Talent Agency co-founder Anirban Das Blah of sexual misconduct, claiming that he was asked inappropriate questions during a meeting. Ram Gopal Varma had offered him an adult film, which he rejected. Sherlyn is a supporter of the MeToo movement and says that there should be no place for regressive mindset in the industry and society. These experiences made him stronger, but to remain in the industry he had to prove himself many times.

Physical relationship for money

Sherlyn was also seen in ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’ with Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee. However, after this his appearance was not seen in any big film. Sherlyn Chopra could not become popular because of her work. Therefore, she tries to grab attention with controversial statements and bold clothes. Sherlyn Chopra made a big confession in an interview and social media post a few years ago. He had admitted that earlier he had had physical relations for money. He had said that he had chosen this path in the initial days of his career to meet his financial needs. Sherlyn Chopra had said in her post, ‘I have been asked many times to have a physical relationship in exchange for money. I have formed relationships for money before. I am not saying this to show my image as bad or good or bad. I am just saying that even today people contact me for physical relations, but I don’t do that anymore.

Became the first Indian in this case

In 2012 he gave an interview to BBC Hindi. When Hugh Hefner, founder of adult ‘Playboy Magazine’ tweeted, Sherlyn Chopra will be the face of the cover page. A big headline was made, and during that interview given to BBC Hindi, Sherlyn said, ‘I have become the first Indian to pose nude in ‘Playboy Magazine’, I am proud of myself. Yes, I have told my sister about this but she doesn’t know anything about it. When I meet him, I will definitely tell him about this. I consider Hugh Hefner as my idol, although his magazine did not run that much because by that time free porn had appeared on adult websites. Due to which his magazine declined.

Beauty standards and cost of surgeries

Bollywood’s unrealistic beauty standards also influenced Sherlyn. She says that shocking beauty procedures to achieve the ‘perfect look’ are common in the industry, and she herself has undergone several surgeries. But a surgery went wrong, leaving her in immense pain and complications, including her breast transplant. What is more tragic is that she cannot become a mother, which is a big tragedy in her personal life. She is suffering from a serious autoimmune disease ‘Systemic Lupus Erythematosus’ (SLE), due to which the doctor has advised her not to become a mother. She told that conceiving in this condition can prove fatal for both her and the child. This disease also became the reason for his kidney failure in 2021. Sherlyn says that big celebrities do not care about others, they only think about themselves.

Personal Tragedy: Father’s death and health issues

There are no less personal struggles in Sherlyn’s life. He lost his father, which was a big shock for him. Kidney failure occurred in 2021, when he felt that death was near. She spent three months on dialysis, but no one from the family donated her kidney. She says that she did not get that much love. This period was like a ‘second life’ for him, where he learned to fight.
