    bollywood actresses who shared casting couch experience

    The very famous saying of William Shakespeare, “All that glitters is not gold”— indicates that not everything that looks precious or true should turn out to be so! This aphorism absolutely applies to our “Bollywood Industry” that from the outer shell looks very fascinating, very appealing, very glittery and very glamorous but deep down it too has a dark side, which remains purposely buried to maintain the reputation that it possesses.  

    The true example of the above-said gist is nothing but ‘Casting Couch’ which is akin to the Bollywood industry. Reading out this term, some of you may ask what the ‘Casting Couch’ is! Well, Casting Couch is one such event that has been prevalent in the Bollywood Industry for quite a long time. 

    It’s nothing but a sick mentality of which many newcomers and aspiring actors/actresses have become victims of. Though, it had happened with many actresses in the earlier history of Bollywood where they had to sleep not only with casting directors, filmmakers and heroes but also with Underworld Dons for every role they desired to do. It is only in the recent past after the campaigns like “Time’s UP” that Bollywood actresses accepted that casting couch is a problem in the Indian film industry as well, that needs to be fixed completely; otherwise before that we rarely get to hear about any such ill-incidents from Bollywood.



    Definitely it requires a whole lot of courage for any woman to be vocal about such issues but under #MeToo movement that came to light in 2018, many actresses showed their bravery and opened up about their casting couch experiences which in turn exposed many popular names from several professional fields in India. Out of the long list of actresses, let’s check out the list of 10 actresses who have faced casting couch in their careers and decided to be vocal about it!

    In the same light, the actress also revealed that, not only during the initial days of her career she has been forced into casting couch, but later too was also asked by a unit member for sexual favors during the shoot of ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ in return for the role. 

    Kalki Koechlin—

    Kalki is one of those Bollywood stars who haven’t been afraid to speak up on any issue. Similarly, on the topic of casting couch, how come she kept herself quiet! During an interview to a news publication, Kalki said:

    While talking about sexual harassment at the workplace, the actress recalled an incident and made a shocking revelation about a Bollywood producer who in the pretext of ‘getting to know her’ asked Kalki out for a late dinner for which he even promised her a film. She was of course not ready for the compromise and thus, straightforwardly rejected the offer.
