Bollywood actress Swara Bhaskar has recounted an incident that happened to her years ago. A film director repeatedly stalked her and subtly made several sexual advances for weeks during an outdoor shooting schedule.

Swara would be asked to meet him in his hotel room to discuss a scene. And when the unsuspecting actor would go to see him, the director would alrady be drunk. This would scare her. More than a few times, she would pretend to have already fallen into sleep just to avoid phone calls from him!

The incident once again confirms that casting couch, sexual harassment and the like are commonplace in the film industry.

The 29-year-old actress has acted in such films as 'Tanu Weds Manu' and 'Raanjhanaa'.
