<h1>Ileana D'Cruz On Why Bollywood Leading Ladies Haven't Spoken Up About Sexual Harassment</h1>
It might sound cowardly, but I do agree that if you speak out about the casting couch, it will end your career.
The fact of the matter is that if an A-list star is accused of something like this, will require a large number of people to come forward, including A-list actresses and actors, to make a difference... It will take many voices for people to acknowledge that huge stars could have such an ugly side.
Think about any of the male superstars in this country. If a girl accuses him, most fans will say, 'I don't believe her claims. There is something wrong with the girl'. It is easy to point fingers at a nobody than at somebody famous. There have been so many similar cases here. But no one will step out and talk about it because actresses fear that no one will support them.

Having earlier admitted to being a victim of sexual harassment and eve-teasing, the actor reveals she has had to face disturbing episodes in her 12-year-long career in the movies too.

I have been associated with people who have tried to harass me. They have tried to push themselves on me just because they are powerful. Situations like this are not easy to be in. You may think you can retaliate, but sometimes it is difficult to do that.

As in a victim or an enforcer?
I would be extremely creeped out if he/she is an enforcer. Might sympathise with the victim but that depends coz sometimes people willingly choose the easy route then it's just a deal.

I'm not blind...most actors have gone through the casting couch whether as the victim or perpetrator. Unless of course they are star kids and got the movies handed to them on a platter. Bollywood is a very dirty industry...no one is safe.
Ileana is just a small percentage of people that actually talk about it...think back to the sting operations that happened.

Benefit of doubt for asking for sexual favors? Nope.. Zilch.. Nada
For compromising, perhaps
