Late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's former girlfriend Ankita Lokhande has been making headlines in the recent past as she has been constantly expressing grief over the actor's passing.

Ankita has now opened up about her casting couch experiences during her initial days in the entertainment industry. The actress, who earned fame through her role in the television show 'Pavitra Rishta' said she was asked to compromise but she walked out. "I was so smart, I was alone in that room and was 19 or 20 years old, and asked him, 'Which type of compromise does your producer want? Do I have to go for parties or dinners?' And the moment he said it, I took him to task. I told him, 'I think your producer wants a girl to sleep with, not a very talented girl to work with.' And I left from there. He then apologised and said he will try to take me in his film. But I said, 'If you try and take me in also, I'm not interested in your film'."

Talking about another incident where she was sexually harassed by a 'big actor,' Ankita was quoted as saying, "When I got back again into films, I felt it again, just shaking hands with that person. I don't want to take names, he was a big actor. I got those vibes, and I quickly got my hands away from him. I knew it, it will not work out for me, because it is a give and take thing. I understood and I left from there because it was not for me."
