Casting
couch
is
one
of
the
darkest
sides
of
the
film
industry.
Over
the
years,
many
actors
and
actresses
have
opened
up
about
it
and
have
revealed
what
they
have
to
go
through
while
giving
an
audition.
In
her
latest
tête-à-tête
with
Pinkvilla,
Zareen
Khan
shared
her
own
horrific
experience
over
casting
couch
and
revealed
that
once
a
director
had
asked
her
to
rehearse
'kissing
scenes'
with
him.
She
was
quoted
as
saying,
"The
person
is
like,
'you
have
to
let
go
of
your
inhibitions,
you
have
to
let
go
of
inhibitions,'
and
that
time
I
was
relatively
very
new."
It
was
then
he
offered
to
rehearse
a
kiss
scene.
"What?
I
am
not
doing
any
kissing
scene
as
a
rehearsal,"
she
told
the
director
at
the
time.
Not
so
long
ago,
Vidya
Balan
had
opened
about
the
same
and
was
quoted
as
saying,
"One
day
I
remember
I
was
in
Chennai
and
this
director
came
to
meet
me.
I
said
let's
sit
in
the
coffee
shop
and
he
kept
insisting
that
he
wants
to
talk
to
me
and
that
we
should
go
to
the
room.
I
left
the
door
of
my
room
open
and
he
left
within
five
minutes.
This
incident
suddenly
struck
me
today
when
I'm
talking
about
this."
It's
a
good
thing
that
actresses
are
choosing
to
discuss
this
issue
and
not
silently
ignoring
it.
