Casting couch
Earlier, Salman Khan had also spoken about casting couch
At HT Leadership Summit held in Delhi recently, 'Tiger Zinda Hai' actor Salman Khan voiced his opinion on the casting couch. He said that taking advantage of someone with a promise to give work is disgusting. He further added if he comes across any such person, he will take them to the "cleaners". However, he denied the existence of casting couch in Bollywood.
Entertainment Industry
Ironically, sexual harassment is most prevalent in entertainment industry
In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein incident, a lot of people from Hollywood have openly spoken about sexual harassment cases. In fact, it has opened a can of worms. We are aware of the deep-seated misogyny and sexism prevalent across industries. In Hollywood, it is just more pronounced. But, are the men and women of Bollywood ready to name their Weinsteins? Perhaps, not.
