‘I have not faced the casting couch’, says Kriti Sanon

After tasting success for her last release ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’, the fans of actress Kriti Sanon are eagerly waiting for her next film to hit the screens. Meanwhile, taking some time out from her hectic work schedule, recently the actress made her way to attend an event in Delhi where she shared her experience of being an outsider in Bollywood and spoke about the practice of casting couch. Kriti said that she has never faced it.

Kriti was talking about it as she was present at the India Today Mind Rocks Youth Summit. The actress said, “I am an engineer, so it was a huge shift for me. I was a little lost… It seemed like a dream which was too big. I think that such things (casting couch) do exist, but not only in Bollywood. But in other places too. But fortunately, I have not faced the casting couch. I was signed by an agency and thankfully nothing of this sort happened to me.” [sic] (Also Read: Kriti Sanon lends support to a cause by her ex-principal of school)

Further, the actress even reminisced about her first film ‘Heropanti’ where she had made her debut opposite actor Tiger Shroff. She said, “It was my first Bollywood film so I was really excited. Back then, it was taking baby steps. I was fascinated by everything on the sets and I started to respect this field and everything related to it. ‘Whistle Baja’ was my first Bollywood song, and I have always been a dancer at heart, so it was a high for me.” [sic]

Reportedly, the actress will next be seen in director duo Raj & DK’s ‘Farzi’. But, an official confirmation is still awaited from the actress and the makers.
