Multiple cases of casting couch and unprofessional behaviour from filmmakers and reputed people go unknown because of intimidation. The conditions have gone as far as people ‘normalising’ it as a means to get work. In an exclusive interview with Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist, hosted by Siddhaarth Aalambayan, Surveen Chawla opened up about a disgusting incident where a director tried to kiss her up front, even after knowing she was recently married.
What Surveen Chawla Said
During the exclusive chat, Surveen Chawla said, “I must have experienced the casting couch multiple times. I will tell you a tale about Mumbai’s Veera Desai Road only. After the meeting at his office cabin, he came to see me off at the gate, and this was after I got married. And the strange thing was that we talked about this in the meeting also, he asked me how it was going and what my husband did, and it was just us speaking inside his cabin because he had a big office. So, when I came to the door to say bye, he leaned towards me trying to kiss, and I had to push him back. I was startled and asked him what he was doing, and I just walked off. ”

But this wasn’t the first time she had faced such situations. Opening about an incident from South, Surveen Chawla revealed the director wanted her to sleep with him during the filming. This director wasn’t familiar with either English or Hindi and had asked his best friend to become a mediator and ask Chawla to sleep with him on request.
She will next be seen in Criminal Justice season 4 alongside Pankaj Tripathi.
