Casting Couch Haunts Bollywood Once Again

No matter how much the Bollywood celebrities shy away from the grim realities of the film industry, every time the naked truth comes out in public. And, this time around, it’s Israeli model’s new book Dear Mr Bollywood: How I Fell In Love With India, Bollywood And Shah Rukh Khan, which has caused some stir in the Bollywood. Being a victim of the casting couch, the struggling actor, Rina Golan, has stirred quite a scandal by accusing veterans like Subhash Ghai, Aneez Bazmee and Anoop Jalota of asking for sexual favours.

The book is about Rina’s journey and her struggle to survive in Bollywood without taking any shortcuts and falling into the trap of casting couch, which she claims very much exists in the industry. According to her, the Subhash Ghai tried to take her to his bedroom and singer-producer Anoop Jalota was more than willing to cheat on his wife. But, her love for Bollywood has not gone bad because of her experiences. And, she is still very much in love with Bollywood.

But, more than exposing the reality of the Bollywood, the book is an open letter to Shahrukh Khan, declaring her admiration for the King Khan.
