Rashami Desai is a popular face in the Television industry. Over the years, she has gained fame for her roles in Hindi daily soaps Uttaran and Dil Se Dil Tak. The actress has also ventured into Bollywood with films like Dabangg 2. Now, in an interview, Rashami has opened up about the challenges she faced during her journey. She even revealed that she had a shocking casting couch experience during the initial days of her career.
Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Rashami Desai discussed facing uncomfortable situations at a tender age as early as 16 years old. She disclosed about a harrowing casting couch experience while she was just a teenager. The actress explained that it was quite a difficult moment for her and how her mother stepped in to help her from the situation.
“Unfortunately, I have been subjected to the same and I have spoken time and again on many occasions about this. The internet is filled with articles on the same already. I remember I was called for an audition and when I went there, there was no one else except him. I was just 16 back then and he tried to get me unconscious. I was uncomfortable and somehow managed to come out from there and later, after a few hours, I told everything to my mother,” Rashami said.
The actress went on to add, “I remember the next day, I went to meet him with my mother and my mother had slapped him to teach a lesson. Casting couch is a real thing but then, every industry is about good and bad people. I am fortunate to have later worked with some fabulous people with whom I have had a good working experience. God has been kind.”
Rashami Desai is popular for Hindi serials such as Ishq Ka Rang Safed and Adhuri Kahaani Hamari. She will next be seen in Mission Laila which is expected to release in Christmas this year.
