Ever since Telugu actress Sri Reddy’s topless protest, the celebrities have often being asked about casting couch in the industry.

Majority of the celebrities have opposed the idea and have voiced their opinion also.

However, related to this only, when veteran choreographer Saroj Khan was asked in a recent press conference, she left all of us surprised with her statement.

She said, “Yeh chala aa raha hai Baba azam ke zamaane se. Har ladki ke upar koi na koi haath saaf karne ki koshish karta hai. Govt ke log bhi karte hain. Tum film industry ke peeche kyun pade ho? Woh kam se kam roti toh deti hai. Rape karke chhod toh nahi deti.”

“Casting couch provides a livelihood. Taking advantage of a girl is done with her consent. Women are not sexually abused and dumped. They are given livelihood.”

Sophie Choudhary and among many others, were shocked by Saroj Khan's words.

Later, Saroj Khan apologised for her remark on the casting couch for  defending the 'casting couch' in the film industry.

The term is used to describe sexual favours demanded by the casting directors or film producers from aspiring actors for a role in a film or for other career advancements.

Never miss a chance to be amazed by the glitz and the glamour of the Entertainment industry.
