Shatrughan
Defends
Saroj's
Casting
Couch
Comment
"Saroj
Khan's
contribution
to
choreography
and
to
shaping
the
careers
of
Rekha,
Madhuri
Dixit
and
the
late
much-missed
Sridevi,
was
invaluable.
Saroj
Khan
is
a
legend
in
her
own
right.
She
often
speaks
from
her
heart
and
lets
emotional
correctness
rule
over
political
correctness.''
I
Completely
Agree
With
Saroj
''If
she
said
that
girls
have
to
compromise
sexually
in
Bollywood,
she
must
be
aware
of
what
goes
on.
I
completely
agree
with
both
Saroj
and
Renuka.
I
know
the
kind
of
compromises
girls
have
to
make
to
get
into
films.
Perhaps
Sarojji
has
herself
gone
through
her
own
pain
and
humiliation.''
Young
Brigade
Is
Known
To
Offer
S*xual
Favours
''As
for
politics,
I
don't
know
what
we
can
call
the
casting
couch
in
politics
may
be
the
casting-vote
couch.
Of
course,
the
young
aspiring
brigade
is
known
to
offer
sexual
favours
and
of
course,
the
senior
brigade
is
known
to
accept.
I
am
not
saying
it
is
right.''
Don't
Condemn
Saroj
For
Speaking
The
Truth
''I
would
never
be
part
of
such
a
compromise.
But
we
cannot
shut
our
eyes
to
the
reality
around
us.
‘'Don't
condemn
Sarojji
for
speaking
the
truth.
Condemn
those
who
create
a
situation
where
girls
and
boys
feel
they
have
to
compromise
to
get
ahead
in
life."
No
One
Is
Forcing
The
Girl
To
Lie
Down
On
The
Couch
"What
happens
on
the
couch
or
wherever
two
people
come
together,
is
a
matter
of
personal
choice.
No
one
is
forcing
any
girl
or
boy
to
lie
down
on
the
couch.
You
have
something
to
give
and
you
are
offering
it
to
someone
who
is
interested.
Where
is
the
coercion
or
compulsion?"
Those
Who
Have
Come
In
Late
Saroj
Khan
had
told
a
daily,
''his
has
been
happening
since
time
immemorial.
Somebody
or
the
other
tries
to
get
cozy
with
every
girl.
Even
people
in
the
government
do
it.
Why
are
you
after
the
film
industry?
At
least
the
industry
provides
employment.
After
all,
it
isn't
as
if
you
are
raped
and
abandoned.''
"It's
up
to
the
girl
-
what
does
she
want
to
do?
If
you
don't
want
to
be
caught,
you
won't.
When
you
are
an
artiste,
why
will
you
sell
yourself?
Don't
say
anything
about
the
film
industry.
It's
like
our
mother-father.''
Later
She
Apologised
&
Said
"I
have
already
said
I
am
sorry.
But
you
don't
know
the
question
that
was
asked...
And
now
there's
so
much
ruckus,"
Khan
told
PTI.
