YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Esha Gupta who made her Bollywood debut in the 2012-film ‘Jannat 2’ opposite Emraan Hashmi recently revealed encountering casting couch experiences with filmmakers. In a recent interview, the actress confessed that she has faced the awkward situation not once, but twice. Sharing her experience without naming the film or makers, Esha reportedly said ‘The film was half completed. When I refused, the co-producer told the maker that he did not want to see me in the film. What am I doing on set? After this, some makers even refused to cast me in films. I had heard that these people used to say about me that if I won't do anything then what is the point of taking me in the film?’ Further narrating another incident she faced during an outdoor shoot of a film, the 37-year-old actress said ‘There were two people who laid the trap of casting couch. I had understood but I still did the film because it was a small move from their side. He thought that I would fall into his trap during the outdoor shoot. I was also smart, I said that I would not go to sleep alone. I called my makeup artist to sleep in my room.’ Esha Gupta concluded by saying that some filmmakers cannot do these things with star kids because of their influential parents, and that is why outsiders are often subjected to casting couch.For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
