Actor Kishwer Merchant has opened up about how she once faced casting couch. She said that she was asked to 'sleep with the hero', adding that the hero and the producer were 'big names'. I was told that I'll have to sleep with the hero. I wouldn't say ki ye bahut hota hai (I wouldn't say that it happens a lot) or it's a normal thing. Industry badnaam hai lekin har industry mein ye cheez hoti hai (The industry is infamous but it happens in every industry)."
