'Casting Couch' is certainly prevalent in many film industries across the country. Due to the increasing public awareness as a result of digital revolution and also because of the increasing feeling of liberation felt by young women has started unveiling the cover over this secret. But there are some people especially the influential men who brush this off as mere rumour.

The latest to join the list of actresses to comment about 'Casting Counc' is young Malayalam actress Hima Shankar has made a shocking revelation about film industry people approaching her with an offer in return of sharing the bed.

In a recent interview, Hima has said that when she was a student of the School of drama a couple of persons from the film industry asked if she would be interested in a "bed with acting package". This means she should share the bed with someone to act in a film. She said she immediately rejected the cheap proposal.

It is to be noted that senior Malayalam actor Innocent who is also the President of AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists) stirred up a controversy by stating that "casting couch" is a thing of the past and no some girls voluntarily grant such favours to get a film opportunity.
