Casting Couch in Bollywood does exist: Ranveer Singh

Actor Ranveer Singh of Band Baajaa Baraat-fame tells the casting couch does exist in the Hindi film industry as small time casting directors and agents try to take advantage of newcomers.

“Unluckily, the casting couch exists in our industry. I don’t think it exists in the high rung studios because the stakes are too high, the money involved and the people involved are too professional,” the 25-year-old said the media.

Ranveer, a panelist at the ongoing FICCI-FRAMES Conclave, disclosed that in his struggling days he too met such people.

“Fortunately or unfortunately, I did have the experience of meeting such sleazy gentleman. So it definitely exists,” he told.

Ranveer is presently working in his second movie Ladies V/s Ricky Bahl.
