Esha Gupta Opens Up On Casting Couch Once Again; Asks Why Industry Kids Don’t Face It And Only Outsiders Do

Esha Gupta has bluntly opened about the casting couch in the industry. She also spoke about ‘industry kids’ and how they can avoid the same experiences.

Speaking about her casting couch experience she says yeah, two people. One of them, well she did the film still. Because it was a little sly move. She thinks they also expected an outdoor shoot, ‘we’ll just be really nice to her, things may change then’. But she is also really smart, she said, ‘she is not going to sleep alone. She used to make her makeup artist sleep in the room with Esha. She said ‘Oh she was scared, she won’t sleep’ But the problem is also they only do it to us, they won’t do it to the industry kids because there, their parents will come and kill you. But to them, they would do thinking she wants work.

Sharing another incident Esha shares that this was where halfway through the film, the co-producer told the maker of the film, ‘he doesn’t want her in the movie. Why is she there?’ This is after 4-5 days of starting the shoot. He said, ‘No she is his heroine’. The maker came to her and asked ‘Did this happen with this guy?’ and she looked at him, laughed and said ‘Yes sir. Why?’ He said, ‘No. He just told him, ‘Why’s Esha there in the movie?’ and she realised because (gestures with her hands). There are also people who don’t give her work because they say, ‘She is not going to do anything, what’s the point?’
