3. Ranveer Singh
The ‘Ram Leela’ actor faced the casting couch when he was a struggling actor.
“Yes, casting couch does exist in the industry. I’ve experienced it during my struggling days. But it depends on how you tackle the situation. I chose to decline politely.”
This supposedly happened when Ranveer was invited by a casting director to his home in Andheri. He described the man as “a highly sleazy gentleman” and said the man did not even look at his portfolio. The man went on to tell him that he has to be “smart and sexy” to get ahead in showbiz. He advised Ranveer to be open to “take and touch”.
4. Radhika Apte
During a candid chat with Bollywood Life, the ‘Parched’ actress Radhika Apte talked about her casting couch experience.
“Once I got a call and they said ‘they’re doing this film in Bollywood and I want you to have a meeting with them. But would you be okay sleeping with that person?’ And I laughed! I said you’re so funny, you’re very funny and I said no I’m not. Ask him to go to hell.”
