Alia Bhatt is currently at the peak of her
career. Known for some powerful
performances, the latest being Junglee
Pictures and Dharma Production's Raazi.
Alia started her journey with Student Of The
Year in 2012 and in last six years we have
all witnessed that she's the best bet we
have in Bollywood today. In her interviews
in the past, Alia has often spoken about that
it has not been an easy journey for her. She
has worked extremely hard to be where
she is today. But seeing Bollywood, it has
never been that easy for every aspiring
actor. The trend of casting couch in
Bollywood has existed for years and it's no
hidden secret that many newcomers face
their share of the same.
Breaking her silence on the same, Alia Bhatt
says that she realises that many people in
the industry use the newcomers to their
benefit. She said, "I know and do
understand that at times, many boys and
girls have to go through bad situations in
order to be able to fetch some work.
Everyone has to face their own battle of
struggle in order to be able to get work in
this industry. And during their struggle
some people could use the strugglers for
their benefit.
Fact that she's aware of it, Alia even has an
advice for those who experience such
situations. She added, "They should always
believe in themselves. However, if at all they
are confronted with this bad moment
(casting couch) they need to immediately
inform their parents. And thereafter go to
the police.
On the work front, the actress is busy
shooting for her next Kalank. Other than
this, Alia will also be seen in Gully Boy
opposite Ranveer Singh and Brahmastra
opposite Ranbir Kapoor.

For once I think she is right. 👍🏼
One should always believe in themselves and if something like that happens, inform your parents. They are the best guides in our lives. 😊

foolish advice that she has given
go to police? CC doesnt always mean forcing. It means offering a deal/proposition. Accepting or denying is upto the person

call back home about cc?
parents will call back immediately from mumbai


MY advice would be

offer that casting agent a deal
give me a break, i will pay you monetarily some part of the fees i get for landing the role


offer commisiion /share in the amount instead of sharing body

make it a legal document.

WOW. Rich coming from someone that barely faced any issues getting a job. An assistant at CAA has to go through 4-5 interviews before he or she gets an interview. An actor has to audition then go through an agent, then you get the role... Alia Bhatt is an average actress. NOTHING EXCEPTIONAL.

Atleast she gave an Advice rather than saying she has never heard of this Alien thing going around. Even she knows the ppl who offers their body to get work wont go n tell their parents rather will adjust with it, there is nothing she can do for it Right.

Her advice is reasonable, but someone from a background as privileged as hers cannot ever truly fathom what goes on in the lives and minds of many young eager professionals.

Star kids should really just not answer these questions. They cannot know what is actually going on and it exacerbates more how entitled and protected/naive they are.
You call parents/police then what? Like that guy that made the offer would ever admit!
And it's anyway an arrangement- which no producer would put on paper..so you cannot have proof.
If any struggling actor complaints to police, they get a counter claim for slander from the producer's lawyers - and probably words goes around not to cast them.
