Sobhita Dhulipala discussed a past audition experience where she was replaced by a dog in a shoot as she came across as too confident.
Sobhita Dhulipala is living a charmed life. The actress recently married Tollywood star Naga Chaitanya and the couple are always in news for their loving relationship. However, life wasn’t always a bed of roses for Made in Heaven star.

In an old video, which has gone viral on social media recently, Sobhita has made a surprising revelation. The Monkey Man star was apparently replaced by a dog for a brand shoot. (Also read: Naga Chaitanya jokes Sobhita Dhulipala lacks ‘basic human skills’, gets dramatic when sick)
‘I was called at 11.30 at night, it was creepy’
Sobhita can be seen talking to Neha Dhupia along with her Made in Heaven co-star Jim Sarbh in the video. The actor said, ” I was called at 11:30 at night for an audition, and I thought it was just creepy. I go and audition, I get told ‘You have been cast’. I go to Goa. Not Thailand or Australia but, Goa.”
According to the 32-year-old actor, the first day of the shoot went great, but apparently, there was some issue with the camera, so the shoot was rescheduled. But, the next day came as a rude shock for her. The client thought that Sobhita didn’t suit the brand’s image because, wait for it, “being confident”.

“The client saw the footage, and they are like, no, the girl is not working. She looks confident which doesn’t suit the brand image much. So they replaced me with a dog,” said Sobhita.
The anecdote attracted a bewildered reaction from Jim and Neha but the actor said she was fine because at least she got paid for the assignment.
