The gentleman had the gall to negotiate on sexual favours. When I refused, he said, ‘Let me touch it. Let me see it.’
–RANVEER SINGH
Casting couch is a sad reality of Bollywood. Several struggling and aspiring actors have to face unpleasant experiences when they walk into swanky offices of the producers or the agents. But when the revelation comes from a top actor, it just shocks you and makes you think about the dark side of the tinsel town. Ranveer Singh, who’s looking forward to his latest movie, Bajirao Mastani, has made a shocking revelation on casting couch. During his struggle, he told to Shekhar Gupta in an interview on NDTV, he was asked for sexual favours. “When I refused, the person was heartbroken like a jilted lover,” he said.

Clearly uncomfortable while narrating the episode, Ranveer Singh explained, “I had visited this gentleman at his house in Andheri and handed him my portfolio. He kept that aside and said ‘You’ve to be smart, you’ve to be sexy.’ Later I got to know what he was interested in. The guy had the galls to negotiate with me. He said, ‘Okay, we won’t do anything. Let me just touch it. Let me just see it.”
