on Jul 31, 2018

Aditi Rao is a rare actress who has talent along with glamour. With two back to back hits of Padmavat and Sammohanam Aditi is now one of the most sought out actress in Indian film Industry. However Aditi too has some bitter experience with the film industry. She revealed that a director has once asked her to present sexual favours for a chance in his movie. However her answer was a big blank no for the said director. “I didn’t regret it but I cried about it because I felt so upset that this was true and this is how girls are treated.

I was like, how dare someone speak to me like that. For about eight months after the incident, I didn’t get work, but I feel that decision made me stronger in my intention about the kind of work I wanted to do,” said the actor. But she feels that talent is the best weapon against casting couch- “It’s about power play in the industry, and you should nip it in the bud. What is the fear? That you won’t get work? If you are talented, the right people will call you. They need to understand why they are there in the film industry. If they are there for the love of the medium, they will get work. This is my naive belief but I’m a living example of that,” was her thought.
