Actors
Sonam
Kapoor
and
Swara
Bhaskar
refrained
from
commenting
on
veteran
choreographer
Saroj
Khan's
remark
on
casting
couch
in
Bollywood.
Saroj
Khan
had
defended
the
casting
couch
culture,
saying
the
Indian
film
industry
"at
least" provided
jobs
and
did
not
abandon
women
after
raping
them.
She
had
said
that
the
casting
couch
was
not
a
new
phenomenon
with
"anyone
and
everyone",
including
people
in
the
government,
indulging
in
it.
The
choreographer
later
apologised
for
her
remarks.
Sonam
and
Swara
were
asked
to
comment
on
the
same
during
the
trailer
launch
of
their
upcoming
film
"Veere
di
Wedding" but
the
actors
dodged
the
question
saying
they
will
only
talk
about
their
movie.
"This
question
is
not
related
to
'Veere
di
Wedding'.
I
don't
think
we
should
divert
from
the
film.
It
is
necessary
that
this
film
gets
the
relevant
attention,"
Swara
said.
"We
will
answer
this
on
one
on
one
basis.
Right
now
the
focus
should
be
on
the
film.
It
shouldn't
be
like
'Swara
Bhaskar
said
this
on
Saroj
Khan'
makes
the
headline," Sonam
added.
Directed
by
Shashanka
Ghosh,
"Veere
di
Wedding",
also
features
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
and
Shikha
Talsania.
The
film
is
scheduled
to
be
released
on
June
1.
On
a
related
note,
actress
Richa
Chaddha
reacted
on
Saroj
Khan's
comment
and
had
said,
"I
think
people
are
making
a
mountain
of
a
molehill.
There's
a
narrative
that
people
in
Bollywood
are
the
worst
and
indulge
in
malpractices
which
isn't
the
case.
She
meant
to
say
it
takes
place
in
all
industries,
why
is
Bollywood
being
singled
out?.
The
69-year-old,
who
has
choreographed
more
than
2000
songs
in
her
career,
further
said
the
'tradition' has
been
going
on
for
centuries
and
blaming
just
Bollywood
is
unfair.
