The casting couch exists, says Ranveer Singh as he recounts his shocking experience

You don't usually hear casting couch stories being aired publicly, especially in Bollywood.

But Ranveer Singh isn't afraid of speaking out.

'Casting couch' is a term used to describe the exploitation of aspiring actors at the hands of relatively more powerful directors or producers.

In a short interview with NDTV, Ranveer didn't hold back when he was asked about the existence of a casting couch scene in Bollywood. The actor came forward to share his own experience when asked to negotiate terms for a movie.

Narrating the incident, Ranveer said that the casting couch definitely exists: "There was a very sleazy gentleman in the northern suburbs and he called me over to his house."
