Mumbai: Actors beef up, tone up and do more for their on-screen characters off and on. Now, it's for actress Swara Bhaskar to gain weight for her role as a mother in Nil Battey Sannata. She says it's a "guilt-free binging opportunity".

The Raanjhanaa actress, who is currently shooting for Nil Battey Sannata, directed by Ashwiny Iyer, has been asked to gain weight as she looked too young for the role of a mother to a teenager. (Also read: Swara Bhaskar turns busy bee with three films)

"I don't know, crash diet I guess! I have to start shooting for Sooraj Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo after this. I need to be back in a slim avatar. I guess I'll have to starve myself the day I stop shooting this film (Nil Battey Sannata)," she quipped.
