URFI JAVED'S HORRFYING CASTING COUCH EXPERIENCE

"The industry that we are in is full of predators. We need to have that attitude, we need to say no, otherwise, people will take full advantage. Some people have even tried to do that. I have been through many incidents where I should have said 'no' but I couldn't," Urfi candidly shared.

The actress recounted a particular incident that occurred when she had recently relocated to Mumbai. She recalled, "I remember when I newly shifted to Mumbai, a director called me for an audition at his home. Without a camera, he told me, 'Act like you are my lover and come close to me and hug me.' I was like what kind of an audition is this? Where is the camera? But, instead of saying no, I just hugged him hesitantly and told him, 'Sir, I am leaving, whereas I should have slapped him."

Meanwhile, Urfi Javed recently hogged the limelight recently for her viral kiss picture with her best friend, Kajol. Netizens speculated that she is bisexual, but, both Urfi and Kajol have remained tight-lipped.

On the work front, Urfi became a household name with her short but powerful stint in Bigg Boss OTT. She is all set to make her Bollywood debut with Ektaa Kapoor's Love Sex Dhokha 2. She has already started shooting for the film.
