Isha Koppikar's views on Casting Couch

During an interview with Hindustan Times, when the actor was asked about her views on the existing casting couch in Bollywood, she said that it happens and is a reality. But again, it depends on what one wants. She added that many heroines took casting couch route to succeed in Bollywood and they even made a big name in the industry. But if someone does not want to take that route, no one can force them. She added that everyone always has a choice, and she prefers a 'clear conscience' and a 'good night’s sleep'.

She further added that there was no denying the fact that nepotism, favouritism, and groupism exist in the Hindi film industry, but cribbing about them is futile. She said that in the end, it is the hard work that counts. However, the actor refused to comment on the current alleged drug nexus in the Hindi film industry.
