This actress started as extra, was told to sleep with director and producer for a role
The practice of casting couches is often used in indian movies. Many actresses have told terrifying stories about the difficult times when they had to deal with intimidation or pressure to get close to famous people or movie producers to get their big break. Many, nevertheless, claim that despite this pressure, they stood their ground. Sai Tamhankar, a well-known actress in Marathi and hindi movies, recently shared her own story of dealing with this.
Sai said in an interview with Miss Malini that she received a call from an unknown individual wanting to have sex with the director and producer of a movie. "I have a movie and everything, but there's a problem," he stated. You will have to spend the night with the producer and director. Although you usually have to sleep with the hero as well, I'll say producer and director because it's you. "Why don't you send your mum?" I then asked.
The man thereafter went silent, the actress said, and she chastised him even more, saying, "He went silent for 10 seconds." I informed him that he now knew that he was never to call me again and that I would be hanging up. Sai claimed that once she turned down the request, nothing of the kind ever approached her again, indicating that people realised she should not be treated in this manner. "I never made that phone call again. The actress continued, saying that you should speak up about whatever you believe is wrong.
