I don’t really know the truth about casting couch, says Nidhhi Agerwal

TIL Desk Bollywood/ “Munna Michael” actress Nidhhi Agerwal says she has never faced the casting couch, and doesn’t know the truth behind its existence in the industry. The topic of casting couch in the industry has always been a source of debate, with many denying its existence and some condemning it.

“Casting couch is a demon of the world! It is just that in the industry just because people know them, it is just talked about much more but it should be completely eliminated as a concept,” Nidhhi told.

“To be really honest, I don’t really know the truth whether it exists or no… Maybe it does, but I have never faced it. I do feel very bad for people if they have come across any such instances,” added the actress, who has launched her own mobile application “Nidhhi Agerwal Official” in collaboration with New-York based firm Escapex.

In the wake of #MeToo movement after Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was exposed for sexual harassment, Telugu actress Sri Reddy took to the streets in protest against casting couch, sparking a war of words with Ram Charan Teja’s uncle and filmmaker-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan.
