The entertainment industry is known for its dark side, including the practice of casting couches, which many actresses have encountered. Among these actresses is Surveen Chawla, who managed to resolutely resist all difficulties in her acting career.
In an old interview with the show Hotterfly, Surveen stated that one award-winning National Award recipient director proposed to her the condition of sleeping with him in exchange for work in South Indian cinema.
Surveen Chawla recalls being invited to the shoot and having a 12-hour test on screen. When she returned to Mumbai, the director messaged her despite her having a fever, and she did not pay much attention to it.
He told her that he didn't know her and wanted to spend more time with her. At that moment, she began to understand the essence of his demands. Then he had to directly ask her if he could sleep with her. She replied that he had the wrong address because she could not give herself to anyone in exchange for work.
Surveen emphasized that she categorically refused to comply with the director's demands. She noted that she has progressed from television to cinema and has always received the love and support of fans. She acted in films such as 'Hate Story 2' and 'Welcome Back'.
