Actor Upasana Singh says she was rejected for the film Maine Pyaar Kiya because of her height, after she was told she was “taller” than Salman Khan. In her account, Singh recalls being informed that the pairing would not work on-screen due to the difference in height. She responds by questioning the premise, saying that other actresses, including Sridevi, are also taller than Salman Khan and have still worked with him. Singh’s comments present the height-related reason as something she considered unconvincing, describing her reaction as disbelief at the explanation given for why she would not be considered for the role. The recollection is shared in the context of discussing the incident and how she interpreted the rejection at the time. Across the reporting provided, the core details remain that she cites height as the stated reason, notes her relative height to Salman Khan, and contrasts it with Sridevi’s history of working in the same on-screen space. The narration is based on Singh’s personal recollection of events.
