They enter industry to sleep around: Raai Laxmi
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,May 18 2017]
Raai Laxmi, the 'Ammadu Let's Do Kummudu' and 'Tauba Tauba' sensation, has suggested that the phenomenon of casting couch is commonplace across film industries.
While she never faced it herself, Raai speaks from her experience that some people enter the industry only to "sleep around". Mostly, fledgling and aspiring actresses are at the receiving end of casting couch.
Coming straight from the horse's mouth is another open secret: even well-known actresses (star heroines?) are not exempt from casting couch. In case an actress refuses to give in to sexual demands, she is unceremoniously shunted out of the project!
In recent times, a couple of actresses have talked about casting couch in Tollywood and other Southern industries.
