Donal Bisht Talks About Her Struggle In Industry; Reveals A Filmmaker Asked Her To Sleep With Him For A Role
Donal Bisht gained fame in the industry after doing popular shows like Ek Deewaana Tha and Roop- Mard Ka Naya Swaroop to name a few. The actress, who has been in the industry for the past five years, recently opened up about her struggles and revealed that a filmmaker asked her to sleep with him for a role.
In
an
interview
with
Mumbai
Mirror,
Donal
Bisht
revealed
that
since
she
was
from
a
middle-class
family,
she
did
not
have
any
connections
in
the
film
or
television
industry.
She
added
that
she
studied
journalism,
but
it
was
mainly
a
film
institute
and
her
seniors
used
to
call
her
to
be
a
part
of
short
films,
plays,
music
videos
and
other
projects.
People
used
to
tell
her
that
she
will
become
a
good
actress
one
day
but,
she
wanted
to
be
a
journalist.
However, when she worked as a journalist, she realised that this was not what she wanted to be. She wanted to be in front of the camera and used to cry in her studio or whenever she was at her desk thinking what she was doing with her life.
During her initial days, the actress says she had to struggle and added, "There was this one time when I was selected for a show, the money was finalised, the dates were given, but then I was dropped out of the project suddenly, citing that the channel wanted another actress. At that time, my family and I were convinced that the entire industry was fake and that people in Mumbai only lie."
She continued, "But then, my hunger for acting couldn't keep me away from the auditions for long. It led to another incident when a filmmaker, who was apparently from the south film industry, asked me to sleep with him for a role. I immediately filed a police complaint against the person because I worship my work. Even though the struggle will be a bit more, I was sure that I'll only make my way into the industry in the right way."
