TV actor Kishwer Merchantt has opened up about casting couch in Bollywood and how she was affected by it. In an interaction with Times of India, she said, “It happened with me when I had gone for a meeting- but just once. I was told that I'll have to sleep with the hero. Industry badnaam hai lekin har industry mein ye cheez hoti hai (The industry is infamous, but this happens in every industry).” She also added that ‘very big names’ were involved in this scenario. Kishwer, however feels that the distressing experience of casting couch was not what kept her away from Bollywood.
