But what do the person do, if THIS is the only way to get work ??

Like if you go to government organizations to get work done, then bribe is the only way... ITs not like we love to give bribe, but when there is no way forward, then what do the person do ??

for e.g few years back, we sought to get an individual water connection, that time we get to know that the only way is to hire a plumber, give him money around 30-40 thousands rupees, so he can bribe all the higher authorities and get the permission. On asking around for a legal way, we got to know that the legal route is never used and people who use, wait for their approvals for at least 1-2 years.

Same way when Producers, casting agents dont leave any other way, then what wud the actresses do ??

disclaimer : Not approving casting couch or saroj khan's statement. Just curiously wondering how people in power dont give any other way out.

With today's age and time, one can always record and use it against the party. Use social media for it as well.

Like saroj said talented people usually don't have to go through sucha route. But the hypocrisy about this whole situation is that even if u aren't talented u are able to sleep around and get the role. So very few get it through merit.

but that is the problem naa... since the powerful people are the ones making demand, how much would a sting operation help ? There were sting operations done against Shakti Kapoor and one tv actor...but what has happened to them...nothing...neither were they put them the bar nor steps taken against it happening ?

Only the person who does the sting operation will forever quit her/his chance to work in an industry. And I doubt if anyone wud be that magnanimous to take such a step to clean the industry for others.

Looking at Sri Reddy's case, quite true about the exposing which can backfire. Nobody is really taking things seriously. Most have resigned to the fact that the industry is such

Cleaning it is out of the picture cos when there is a demand there will forever be supply. I guess going through legit sources for work is also very key. Cos they don't tend to do such things. But its true that the road to success is tougher with such people around.

When there r people who r readily supplying, why will the demand stop? Only when everybody says No can it end. But, greedy n short cut method se bahut log aana chahte hai. Sex is not such a big deal for some wannabes. Aise log aage bad jaate hai. While people like Vidya hv to toil for years in 100 auditions/ads if they want to come thru the honest route.
