Priyanka Chopra Talks About Casting Couch in Bollywood
Priyanka Chopra, popularly known as Desi Girl, has been away from Bollywood for a long time, focusing on her Hollywood projects and personal life in the U.S. However, she is now making headlines for her possible collaboration with renowned South Indian filmmaker SS Rajamouli. Amidst this, Priyanka shared an unsettling incident from her early days in the industry, revealing the challenges she had to endure to survive in Bollywood.
A Shocking Incident at 19
Speaking at the Forbes Power Women Summit, Priyanka openly discussed her past struggles. She recalled an incident when she was just 19 years old, dealing with a film director who made inappropriate remarks.
Priyanka revealed that when she expressed concerns about her costume in the film, the director’s response left her shocked and disgusted.
What Did the Director Say?
Priyanka stated that when she questioned the length of her dress, the director told the stylist that the audience would come to watch the film to see her panties, so the outfit should be as short as possible. The director made this comment twice, and when he repeated it in Hindi, it made Priyanka extremely uncomfortable.
Casting couch has been a long-standing issue in the film industry, and many actresses have suffered due to it. Being an outsider, Priyanka was also not spared from such experiences. This disturbing encounter almost led her to quit Bollywood. She shared the incident with her mother, questioning how she could continue working in an industry where people had such a degrading mindset toward women.
Priyanka Chopra’s Upcoming Projects
Currently, Priyanka Chopra is in Hyderabad for her upcoming project. Reports suggest that she may be seen in SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu’s film, SSMB29. While neither Priyanka nor Rajamouli has made an official announcement, both have dropped hints about the collaboration.
