Entertainment
industry
is
infamous
for
the
casting
couch.
Many
aspiring
actors
or
actresses
work
hard
to
enter
showbiz,
but
often
fall
in
the
trap
of
casting
couch.
Akshit
Sukhija,
who
was
last
seen
in
Colors
show
Shubharambh
recently
revealed
that
he
has
faced
casting
couch
during
his
modelling
days.
The
23-year-old
actor
explained
that
the
process
of
manipulating
youngsters
is
not
direct.
In
an
interview
with
Times
of
India,
Akshit
Sukhija
shared
his
views
on
casting
couch
and
revealed
that
people
take
advantage
of
youngsters'
helplessness.
He
revealed
that
people
give
you
fake
promises
and
make
you
believe
in
an
imaginary
world,
which
doesn't
exist
in
reality.
"My
journey
has
been
tough.
Contrary
to
what
people
think,
casting
couch
is
not
so
direct
the
way
people
narrate
it.
It
is
a
process
and
young
guys
and
girls
are
manipulated
over
a
period
of
time.
There
are
people
in
the
business,
who
will
make
false
promises
and
transport
you
into
make-believe,
imaginary
world.
These
people
manipulate
you
into
making
compromises
or
come
up
with
unreasonable
demands," Akshit
said.
While
elaborating
more
about
the
process,
Akshit
Sukhija
further
revealed
that
aspiring
actors
get
ready
for
compromises,
as
they
have
been
under
financial
stress.
They
are
desperate
to
work,
hence
fall
into
the
trap
of
casting
couch.
The
Shubharambh
actor
further
stated,
"I
have
faced
these
situations
many
times.
Many
aspiring
actors
and
actresses
give
in
because
they
have
reached
a
certain
point
and
are
under
financial
stress.
They
don't
want
to
lose
an
opportunity
after
working
so
hard.
You
don't
have
money
and
are
desperate
to
make
it
work;
so
people
trick
you
into
such
situations,
and
you
compromise."
After
Shubharambh,
Akshit
Sukhija
has
bagged
a
new
TV
show
Laxmi
Ghar
Aayi,
however,
he
doesn't
want
to
talk
much
about
it.
The
show
will
reportedly
revolve
around
the
issue
of
dowry.
For
the
unversed,
his
last
show
Shubharambh
opposite
Mahima
Makwana
went
off-air
in
November
2020.
