Chahatt said, "There is no conditional casting, that is - if I do this for you, you have to do this for me. There could be mutual dating between the maker and an actress but there is no diktat. The casting couch has at least lessened for sure."

Casting couch existed on a very large scale." When asked as to what the actress did when she got the indecent proposal, she said that she didn't go for it and that's the reason she has been doing television.
