Charul Malik, who transitioned from a news anchor to a television actress, discussed the topic of the casting couch in an interview with the YouTube channel 'Connect'.
Malik is known for her participation in popular TV shows such as 'Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain' and 'Happu Ki Ulta Paltaan'. When discussing the casting couch, she stated that such practices exist everywhere.
When asked about encountering the casting couch in the television industry, she replied that she has learned a lot during her acting career. She added that she knows the names of many people involved in this but refuses to name them because she needs to continue working in this industry.
Charul Malik believes that the casting couch is present not only in acting but also in various other spheres. However, television and Bollywood remain subjects of discussion as the public shows interest in this topic.
The actress emphasized that the casting couch is found not only in the film industry but also in banks, colleges, and multinational corporations (MNCs). In her opinion, the casting couch arises not by itself, but where people try to use shortcuts. She concluded that applause should be given with both hands, and that depends on the individual.
