Slim and trim actress Dipannita Sharma, who will be seen in "Take It Easy", has been asked to put on weight for the role of a mother and homemaker in the family drama.

The model-actress, who has been admired for her close to perfect physique, is facing such a request for the first time.

Despite having an affinity to keep her weight in check, Dipannita has been trying hard to gain some weight and has only managed to put on three kg in the last two months.

She is yet to put on six to eight kg more, said a source close to her.

Her concern?


When she puts on more weight, her modelling assignments will have to be put on hold. Nevertheless, Dipannita has decided to go ahead with the weight gain for the sake of the film, the source added.
