Shocking! Mirzya Debutante Saiyami Kher Faced Casting Couch Before Her Debut?

The stories of casting couch can be shocking and one can be left wondering what exactly is happening in and around the film industry which leaves debutantes in a helpless situation.

The Mirzya debutante Saiyami Kher opened up about her casting couch experience and said, "I've struggled and stood in queues for auditions. I know the feeling of dejection when things don't materialise. Going through auditions, awaiting my turn and meeting mean casting directors has taught me a lot. I have experienced it all before my first film."

She further continued, "It's sad that women are often exploited in this industry. I have been in a similar situation, but I bluntly told the lady not to call me ever. It's uncomfortable when you land in such situations. It's difficult to not have a support system in this industry. I am so glad I have family here to fall back on."

She also heaped praises on her family friends who helped her throughout the journey and said, "I started modelling at 16, all thanks to our family friend, Sushma Reddy , who said I had a decent face and I should give it a try. Before I did my first portfolio, she sat me down and lectured me on the ways of the industry. She told me that I couldn't get into drugs, alcohol or fall in love for the next 10 years. So, I had these people who guided and guarded me."

Mirzya starring debutantes Harshvardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher is all set to hit the theatres on 7 October 2016.
