A
month
ago,
Splitsvilla
12
contestant
and
Taarak
Mehta
Ka
Ooltah
Chashmah
actress
Aradhana
Sharma
opened
up
about
casting
couch
experience.
She
revealed
how
traumatic
it
was
and
said
that
the
incident
affected
so
much
that
she
had
trust
issues.
Now,
the
actress
revealed
that
the
confession
of
facing
it
came
with
many
consequences.
While
talking
to
HT,
Aradhana
said
that
the
incident
continues
to
impact
her
and
affect
her,
but
she
was
shocked
with
the
reactions
she
was
getting
as
she
didn't
talk
anything
vulgar.
She
was
quoted
by
the
leading
daily
as
saying,
"The
reactions
that
I
got
after
opening
up
about
the
incident
shocked
and
surprised
me.
I
was
told
by
many
people,
'Tumhara
career
khatam
ho
sakta
hai
jo
tumne
yeh
casting
couch
ke
baare
mein
jo
bola
hai
(Your
career
might
be
over
as
you
spoke
about
casting
couch)'.
Someone
said
that
my
career
is
already
over."
The
TMKOC
actress
admitted
that
all
these
remarks
did
affect
her
and
she
went
into
depression
thinking
about
it.
She
was
also
told
that
'Aap
abhi
utni
badi
ho
nahi
jo
yeh
sab
bolo
(You
are
not
so
big
to
tell
all
these)'.
She
further
added,
"I
went
into
depression,
thinking
that
I
don't
even
have
a
right
to
talk
openly
about
something
which
has
happened
to
me.
I
was
like
I
know
that
I'm
not
that
big
but
at
least,
I
have
the
right
to
speak
up
for
myself.
Also,
I
shared
what
happened
to
me
so
that
other
girls
don't
have
to
go
through
the
same."
She
added
that
at
that
time,
she
used
to
call
her
mother
and
cry
thinking
her
career
is
over
and
is
glad
that
all
those
people
were
proved
wrong
as
work
is
coming
her
way
steadily.
Aradhana
clarified
that
the
industry
is
not
bad,
but
casting
couch
is
also
a
reality,
just
like
in
any
field.
She
concluded
by
saying
that
although
it
is
not
talked
about
much,
someone
has
to
start
and
that's
what
she
did.
