Zareen Khan Opens Up on Casting Couch, Reveals How a Director Asked Her to Kiss as a Rehearsal

Zareen Khan has been quite making a stir with her bold statements. The Veer actress who has been in the news for her Instagram posts lately, is yet again in the spotlight for her revelation about experiencing casting couch. The actress was in an interaction with pinkvilla.com, wherein she told how a director once asked her to do a kissing scene as a part of rehearsals.

She shared with the portal, "The person is like, ‘you have to let go of your inhibitions, you have to let go of inhibitions,’ and that time I was relatively very new." She refused saying, "What? I am not doing any kissing scene as a rehearsal."

She also recalled another incident where an industry elite asked her to be more than friends in order to get special work. However, the actress denied the person saying that she was happy with the work coming her way and would do work as per her credibility.

Earlier, she also shared a body positivity related post where she flaunted her stretch marks. She also wrote a hard hitting caption saying, "For people who are very curious to know about what's wrong with my stomach, this is the natural stomach of a person, who has lost 15 kgs of weight, this is how it looks when it is not photoshopped or surgically corrected. I've always been someone who believes in being real and embraced my imperfections with pride rather than covering it up." Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma extended support to her by posting the words of encouragement.
