Recently, Sara Chaudhary appeared on Farrukh Warraich’s podcast, where she opened up about the casting couch being an unfortunate reality of the entertainment industry.
Talking about the casting couch, Sara Chaudhary said, “I didn’t receive such offers directly because my mother supported me. Initially, it was difficult for us. When I had just started, my mother received shocking offers that were traumatic and upsetting for her. Some offers worried her so much that I remember she once said, ‘Let’s quit.’ My mother was actually crying. She asked me to focus on my studies and said you wouldn’t work in the media anymore. It was a very disgusting offer that I can’t even mention here, but someone clearly said that you can’t flourish in the industry without going through certain things. To that, my mother firmly replied that we don’t need to do those things. In the beginning, I was accepting work opportunities for the sake of my career, but later I took a stand for myself. Also, I didn’t do anything bold in my career.” Here is the link to the video:
