Talking about the casting couch in detail, the Bachana Hai Haseeno actress revealed, “I think in any industry where there are men, a lot of men are going to try. This industry is not any different. I have faced things like the person not confirming for the film and saying, ‘Why don’t you meet for dinner? Let’s talk.’ And I am like, ‘No, why don’t we meet in the office? I don’t know about dinner but I am free, we can set up a time and meet in the office tomorrow if you want to discuss further.’”

Elaborating on the experience, she added, “I have handled it like that. It has not happened much to me to my face. But whenever it has happened, I have handled it in a way where I have pretended not to understand what you are saying.”

The actress made her Bollywood debut with Shoojit Sircar’s ‘Yahaan’ opposite Jimmy Shergill.
