Esha Gupta recalls horrific casting couch experience
In a candid interview with SpotboyeE, Esha Gupta narrated a horrifying experience of herself in the film industry, where she faced an incidence of casting couch. The diva mentioned that not once, but twice did she come across some filmmakers, who asked for sexual favours, in return for suitable work opportunities. Moreover, Esha revealed that after she straight up refused to comply with their request, she was barred from entering the film sets, even though that the shooting was half done. In fact, these filmmakers spread negative rumours about the actress to others, thereby sidelining her to get any other projects. Esha mentioned:
“Two individuals subjected me to this ordeal. 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?”
