In
her
recent
tete-a-tete
with
an
entertainment
portal,
actress
Esha
Gupta
opened
up
about
facing
casting
couch
twice
in
Bollywood,
and
said
that
these
things
do
not
happen
to
star
kids,
as
their
parents
are
powerful
enough
to
go
after
the
harassers.
While
speaking
to
Bollywood
Bubble,
when
Esha
Gupta
was
asked
about
facing
casting
couch,
she
revealed,
"Yeah,
two
people...
One
of
them,
well
I
did
the
film
still.
Because
it
was
a
little
sly
move.
I
think
they
also
expected
an
outdoor
shoot,
'we'll
just
be
really
nice
to
her,
things
may
change
then'.
But
I
am
also
really
smart,
I
said,
'I
am
not
going
to
sleep
alone'."
She
went
on
to
add,
"I
used
to
make
my
makeup
artist
sleep
in
the
room
with
me.
I
said
'Oh
I
am
scared,
I
won't
sleep'...But
the
problem
is
also
they
only
do
it
to
us,
they
won't
do
it
to
the
industry
kids,
because
their
parents
will
come
and
kill
you.
But
to
us,
they
would
do
thinking
she
wants
work."
She
also
shared
her
second
experience
with
casting
couch
and
said,
"There
was
where
halfway
through
the
film,
the
co-producer
told
the
maker
of
the
film,
'I
don't
want
her
in
the
movie.
Why
is
she
there?'
This
is
after
4-5
days
of
starting
the
shoot.
He
said,
'No
she
is
my
heroine'.
The
maker
came
to
me
and
asked
'Did
this
happen
with
this
guy?'
and
I
looked
at
him,
laughed
and
said
'Yes
sir.
Why?'
He
said,
'No.
He
just
told
me,
'Why's
Esha
there
in
the
movie?'
and
I
realised
because
(gestures
with
her
hands).
There
are
also
people
who
don't
give
me
work
because
they
say,
'She
is
not
going
to
do
anything,
what's
the
point?'"
In
the
same
interview,
she
also
opened
up
about
being
abused
by
director
and
said
that
she
did
not
resume
her
shoot
until
he
apologised
to
her.
Esha
made
her
Bollywood
debut
with
Jannat
2
opposite
Emraan
Hashmi
in
2012.
