When even star actresses like Kajal Aggarwal talk about casting couch, the problem is indeed there. However, ace comedian Prudhvi seems to think otherwise. He has shot the messenger instead.

The other day, in the context of commenting on allegations of rampant casting couch in some industries, especially in Tollywood, Prudhvi said that, if it exists, it's because the actresses are willing to resort to it. He has also been quoted as saying that such remarks will end up affecting the image of the film industry.

Prudhvi's views are curious. Casting couch doesn't damage the industry's reputation, but talking about it will? Reminds one of the specious argument that talking about rapes will damage our society's reputation! His sensational comments could even miff some actresses out there.
