The Bollywood industry gives you a name. However, just like there is a bad side to everything, the Hindi film industry, too, has some negative vibes. Many Bollywood stars have opened up on the downsides of being a part of Bollywood. And one of the things is casting couch. The Padmaavat fame had shared that when he started out in the industry, he had to face the casting couch. The actor revealed that once a casting director had invited him to his home in Andheri. Without even looking at his portfolio or his work, he was made the offer to take and touch and be open. Ranveer had politely turned down the offer and denied it. Later he got to know that the casting director had made similar propositions to other struggling actors as well. He thinks it's a very bad practice.

The Dream Girl actor revealed that he was directly asked for a sexual favour by a casting director. How cheap? The actor had denied and had an interesting way to say no. " I was a TV anchor, so a casting director directly told me that I would have to do it. I told him that if I was not straight, I might have given it a thought, but I can't do it. So, yeah, the casting couch exists, but eventually, it's your talent or potential as an actor or performer which lasts. You don't need to give in to such stuff" Ayushmann had expressed.
