Saroj
Khan
is
in
hot
soup
over
her
controversial
statements
defending
casting
couch
by
saying
that
taking
advantage
of
a
girl
has
been
happening
since
"Baba
Adam's
time,"
and
stated
that
the
culture
of
casting
couch
is
that
is
does
not
rape
a
girl,
but
gives
a
girl
a
job
after
it's
done
and
makes
her
life
better.
The
choreographer
joined
a
panel
of
members
on
a
news
channel
during
a
debate
and
defended
casting
couch
by
saying,
"Can
I
tell
you
one
thing?
This
has
been
going
on
since
the
beginning
of
time.
It
hasn't
started
now.
Someone
or
the
other
tries
to
take
advantage
of
every
other
girl.
The
government's
people
do
it
too.
Then
why
are
you
after
the
film
industry?
It
provides
livelihood
at
least.
Does
not
rape
and
leave
you.
It
depends
upon
the
girl,
what
she
wants
to
do.
If
you
don't
want
to
fall
in
wrong
hands,
you
won't.
If
you
have
art,
then
why
would
you
sell
yourself?
Don't
take
film
industry's
name,
it
is
everything
for
us."
Saroj
Khan's
Weird
Statement!
So
as
per
Saroj
Khan,
if
an
actress
wants
to
earn
a
livelihood,
she
has
to
come
to
terms
with
the
film-makers
sexual
demands
and
it
"depends
upon
the
girl,
what
she
wants
to
do." It's
like
a
choice
to
choose
from!

down.
Afraid
To
Take
Names
Though
a
few
actresses
have
spoken
out
about
their
experiences

the
casting
couch,
not
a

might
not
get
an
