If they out them, some people will turn on them and say they are imagining things and call them crazy...😆

More seriously, I don't agree with the what Sonu Nigam said because it implies that women aren't subject to such propostions anymore. He should have just said that now men are as much as subject to such propositions than women.

That being said, I find it funny that of course none of the people questionned have agreed to do it (I would understand if they didn't say they did though). But it feels like even though they are talking about it, they aren't ready to go all out... so it's not really denouncing because at the end of the day, it won't change much.

The couch casting question is a tricky one anyway because are they victims or, as someone pointed out, willing participants? Is this as easy as showing that you're not up to it and going your merry way and trying your luck with another director without being burnt?

This article raise awareness but doen't condemn imo.

You have to have irrefutable proof before naming a specific person. If you name a person and do not have proof to back that claim in court, you will be sued for defamation, slander and libel. If you are a newcomer going up against an established name, such a case could totally finish you.

The other risk is that even if you have proof and expose a person, your Bollywood aspirations are still finished. You have instantly made yourself a pariah. No one will work with you because you breached an unwritten rule of confidentiality. You have to play nice in the sandbox with the power circles.

That is why there are no names named, just stories of what happens. Casting couch can only be exposed by external media or someone who decides to say f**k it to their Bollywood aspirations.
