Casting couch is the dark truth of the entertainment industry. Actress Shama Sikander has also faced it. Recently, in an interview, she revealed her experience of casting couch. However, she added that now the industry has changed and young producers are very professional and treat people with respect.

Shama Sikander is a popular celebrity. She often sends social media into a tizzy with her glamorous pictures. She might have been away from the screen for a long time but she is now preparing to make a comeback. During an interview with BollywoodLife.com, Shama spoke about her past casting couch experience and how the industry has changed for good. She said, "The industry has changed so much, and for good. Today, young producers are far more professional and treat people respectfully. They do not have the notion of sex for work. In the past, I have had producers tell me that they wanted to be friends with me. I was like, how can we be friends if we do not work together. I feel the whole concept of asking for sex in return for work is the lowest of low. I mean, you have to be a terribly insecure human being to do that."

She further added, "Some of these producers and makers were well-established names in the industry. It shows that you do not have an iota of confidence that you can win over a woman's heart in an organic manner. But casting couch is not limited to Bollywood alone. It happens everywhere."
