Beneath all the glitz and glamour ofnthe film industry, Bollywood has some really dark secrets. One of them is the disgusting practice called casting couch and its been going on since decades. Recently, former Miss India Exquisite, Eesha Agarwal shared her experience about the same. She is top model who has won titles like India Exquisite 2015, Miss India International 2017, Miss Global International Princess 2017 and Miss Beauty Top of the World 2019.
In an conversation with a news portal, Eesha said, “Casting couch is still a reality. When I was very new to Mumbai, some known casting guy invited me to his office. When I reached there with my sister, he claimed that he has cast many big actors and he will surely give me a good project. Then suddenly he asked me to undress so that he can see my body, the reason he gave him he needs to see it for the role. I rejected the offer and rushed out of the office with my sister. After all of this he still kept on messaging me for days, but soon I blocked him.”
She also shared a word of advice for aspiring actresses and models. There are many people who claim to represent big casting companies, so be aware of them. They will try to lure you with their exciting movie offers and with their compromising conditions, so never fall into it. But I would suggest all the newcomers not fall into the trap because they will just leave a scar in your life. You always need to find the right door, where there will be no condition and only your talent would speak,” she said.
