Shocking! Radhika Apte confesses about her casting couch experience

After 'Parched' actress Surveen Chawla opened up recently about being asked for sexual favours from a director, her co-star Radhika Apte, too, has revealed her casting couch experience.

In an interview to Bollywoodlife.com, Radhika Apte opened up about her experience of being approached for casting couch.

When asked about casting couch, Radhika Apte said, "You know I know also a lot of casting couch and I know a lot of people who have gone through it, I genuinely haven't gone through it. See, I'm fortunate that I've never met people who have asked me to. I think once an actor in South called me on my room phone and tried to get flirtatious and I just was so rude to him. I think he fought with me later on. But anyway, I haven't ever got a request saying that you have to sleep with us."

Later, however, Radhika Apte went down the memory lane and narrated a shocking incident.

Radhika Apte told Bollywoodlife.com, "Oh once I got a call. Yes yes wait. Once I got a call and they said ‘they're doing this film in Bollywood and I want you to have a meeting with them. But would you be okay sleeping with that person?' And I laughed! I said you're so funny, you're very funny and I said no I'm not. Ask him to go to hell (laughs)."
