In the B town where every new comer grumbles about being approached for a casting couch to secure a role, no matter how pivotal or petty it is, there is one girl who is sad for not being getting into this silly business of casting couch. Yes, Swara Bhaskar is the lass who is lucky enough to get a memorable roles in films like ‘Tanu Weds Manu’, ‘Madholal Keep Walking’ and of course her first flick ‘Niyati’.
Swara Bhaskar
Swara Bhaskar played Kangana’s sister in ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ and she rues that for a year she was never made any indecent proposal by any of the filmmakers. Moreover when they did she was too dippy to get it unless someone blatantly said, “Will you go to bed with me for this role?”
For this Delhi based girl Bollywood was nowhere on the wish list when she was a young kid. Studying English Literature and Sociology in JNU, she headed to the US for higher studies. This Minisha Lamba’s classmate says, “I had heard and read a lot about the casting couch, so I went to Mumbai with a prepared mind that I will have to hear all this. But for the first year nobody ever asked me such questions and I was baffled thinking everybody says all sorts of things about the industry but nobody is even asking me for any such thing. Is there a problem with me?”

She remembers an incident when she goes to an agent and he complimented a hell lot of her. He said, “I can see that you have that oomph to become a superstar, I can see that spark in your eyes. So what can you do for success?” After going on and on with a number of replies she didn’t understand what the man was asking for? At last when she did, she said, “I couldn’t bed with you if you are asking for that,” and laughs out uncontrollably.
“I have has few experiences where people were trying to touch my hand, coming closer to me, calling me up like crazy. But Mumbai is a place where nobody is going to force you. They are, for sure, going to pressurize you – as it’s a very insecure industry…so they feed on that insecurity.”
Good Swara Bhaskar that you got roles in films on basis of your talent and you should be thankful to God that you never faced what other newbie have to face. Otherwise the industry is famous for casting couch episodes.

What a load of rubbish!! No girl in Bollywood gets even an extra’s role without giving herself to whore crazy male dominated Bollywood. And Swara Bhaskar to tell you truth no one is going to accept that she has been slutty in Bollywood to get a role. So just shut up and don’t spread false propoganda.
Or may be you are not worthy for being a “Bollywood madam” ;)
Bollywood is a sin city everyone has to get dirty in the mud to survive. Whether you accept it or not no one gets to the pinnacle without getting dirty. The more you get dirty the higher mountain you climb.
Stop telling lie, no one will believe your propoganda.
I had a friend from Delhi she was quite good looking and ambitious. She was crazy to become a Bollywood star. She went to give it a try in Mumbai. On her very first attemp one of “Dalal” said to him straight on the face that if you want to be successful then you have to get slutty. Starting from bottom of the food chain, which is an Agent, to the top actors and producers all have to get a peice of meat.
She was heart broken, she packed her bag and returned to Delhi. She is now a successful business executive in top MNC firm.
Swara Bhaskar is either lying or may be she has been just lucky. Whatever is the case she is not known to the public at all so she is not a satr.
Who cares? Get a life Swara!
