Aditi Govitrikar talked about how she was given the opportunity to meet Yash Chopra but lacked the guts to do so in the most recent interview. She admitted that she was afraid to meet the director because of her experiences on the casting couch.
Aditi Govitrikar said, “When I participated in Gladrags, Yash Chopra ji was among the judges. He had called me for a meeting. But I got scared that I don’t know anything about movies since my background is like that, I come from a middle-class family. So, I couldn’t muster the courage to go meet him.”
She continued, “A few experiences happened that made me think this is not for me. There were some casting couch experiences and I didn’t know how to handle them. It was not like my mother could come with me every time because she lived in Panvel. So, there was nobody who could come with me and protect me from all this. Vo jo darr baith gaya, after that I didn’t bother.”
Aditi Govitrikar made her acting debut in 1999's Thammudu alongside Pawan Kalyan.
