Much has ben spoken about casting couch in the film industry. With many top actresses coming out in open and naming and shaming the predators in the guise of top celebrities, people across the nation are left shellshocked.
The MeToo movement drawing inspiration from Hollywood actresses created a sensation in the film industry across the country. Many started blaming the lack of morals and falling standards in the film industry at present and they started singing praises of the industry standards and morales in the olden days. But those well versed with the industry right from the start feel that casting couch was there even in the so-called olden days and clean and green industry.
Sources say though casting couch was 100% there, many actresses did not come out in open for the fear of social backlash. During that time people looked at the actresses in a low manner and any such revelation will tarnish their image. Apart from it, lack of social media and the advent of technology. did not help their cause in any manner. Actresses were forced to suffer casting couch experiences in a silent manner.
