Bollywood actress Maanvi Gagroo, who recently featured in the popular Amazon Prime web series 'Four More Shots Please', has opened up on her casting couch experience with a web series producer.
Claiming that she got a call from a producer regarding a new web series, Maanvi writes, A year ago, I got a call from a random unknown number. They were like 'we are doing a web series and we wanted to cast you.' They told me the budget and I said, 'no, this is too less and why are we talking about the budget? Tell me the script, only if I am interested and you are interested in roping me, we can discuss about money, dates and all.' So he is like 'we are asking people if they are okay with the budget.' When I said 'no, it's less', he tripled the budget just in his next sentence. He said, 'I can give you this much also, but you'll have to make a compromise.'
Shocked by his words, Maanvi threatened to complain to the police. This words 'compro', 'compromise' I was hearing after 7, 8 years. Suddenly I don’t know what triggered me, I started abusing him. Told him 'How dare you? I am going to file a complaint with the police'. I was baffled at how things like this still happen, she adds.
