Casting couch in Bollywood and the entertainment industry as a while, has been the hottest topic of discussions in the past couple of weeks. While a lot of celebrities are talking about being asked for personal favours in exchange of work, some have decided to not comment on it. Some of them are also saying blasphemous things that is way to irresponsible for a celebrity to say. Anita Hassanandani who has done quite a few movies down south and in Bollywood in her initial years, also spoke about facing casting couch. The actress also thanked Ekta Kapoor for being her mentor and giving her the right opportunities.

She told Hindustan Times, "Luckily, I was blessed to find Ekta Kapoor (producer) as a mentor. Once you have a good start and you do a successful show, it becomes pretty easy. Not easy easy, but yes, there's much less struggle. Yes, it [casting couch] happened to me as well. But I guess, you have to handle yourself correctly and get out of that situation. The industry is such. But I feel that today, [the situation] is way better, as your work speaks more. In our days, it was worse. That's what I feel, but I could be wrong."
