Unfortunately, the casting couch and the film industry go hand-in-hand sometimes. Many have come ahead and shared their horrifying experience and in recent updates, Fatima Sana Shaikh also shared her experience. During a recent conversation, she revealed that a casting agent kept asking her if she was willing to do ‘everything’ for a role when she kept acting dumb to see how low he could get.
Fatima Sana Shaikh Shares Her Casting Couch Experience
During a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, the Dangal actress said, “He (casting agent) asked me, ‘You will be ready to do everything, right?’ I told him that I would be working hard and would do what was required for the role, but he kept saying that and I played dumb because I wanted to see how low can he get.”
She also shared another experience in Hyderabad, where some producers openly but indirectly talked about the casting couch. Shaikh revealed that producers openly gave her indications of meeting people. This is horrifying for people who are starting out new in an already overwhelming industry. Casting couch can hamper one’s physical and mental health and would also discourage talented people from coming forward and trying their luck. This shameful act is not only distasteful but illegal and should be talked about more.
