Entertainment: Renowned TV actress Jasmin Bhasin has recently made a significant revelation regarding casting couch practices. She recalled her struggles and the difficult time when she herself was caught in the web of casting couch. Jasmin shared how she was once locked in a hotel room during a meeting, but managed to escape through her resourcefulness.
This incident completely changed her perspective, and she decided that she would never attend any meeting alone in a hotel room again.
Locked in a Hotel Room, but Jasmin Found Her Way Out
Jasmin Bhasin, while sharing her story on the ‘Himanshu Mehta Show’, said, "I went for a meeting. Upon arriving, I saw a man drinking and pressuring me for an audition. The coordinator in the room also left, which scared me. The man told me that I had to perform the scene he wanted immediately. I said I would come back tomorrow and do it, but he refused and said it had to be done now. I reluctantly performed the scene."
What happened next will leave everyone stunned. Jasmin revealed, "He told me that I didn't perform the scene correctly. He asked me to stand up and played a scene where I had to stop my boyfriend. I did as he said, but he said that's not how it should be. Then he locked me in the room and tried to do something else. However, I used my skills and courage to escape from there."
The Truth of Casting Couch: Jasmin's Experience
Acknowledging this bitter truth, Jasmin said, "Casting couch exists in the industry, but it is important to understand and recognize it. People who make casting calls are not always genuine casting directors. Some people simply create such situations for their own desires and benefits." She further added, "Auditioning is a legal process, and it is very important to understand it."
I know how much every artist struggles for their work and sometimes, in desperation, they end up in the wrong places. But the truth is that people who genuinely do casting will never indulge in wrongdoings like casting couch.
Decision: Never Attend a Meeting Alone in a Hotel Room Again
Jasmin stated that she made a b decision after that incident. She will now never attend any meeting alone in a hotel room. She believes that artists should be aware of their rights and safety and avoid places where they are not respected. Jasmin's revelation also emphasizes that such experiences are not uncommon in the entertainment industry.
Many artists have gone through this casting couch problem, but it is often kept hidden. It is important to publicize such experiences and raise awareness so that such wrong practices can be eradicated.
