Shreya Ghoshal on casting couch

During a recent conversation with Hauterrfly, Shreya Ghoshal admitted that the casting couch exists in the industry, irrespective of her personal experience. “It's a slightly better time now. Before social media, women in the industry had a tough time. I started quite early, so my parents always accompanied me to places. So, if anybody wanted to say anything, they didn't dare.”
