Casting Couch provides livelihood: Saroj Khan - Page 5

I never said people don't throw themselves at powerful folks for opportunities. I was only questioning the logic behind this theory that only talentless people resort to casting couch. Madhuri had indirectly spoken about how much she has to go through during the initial stages of her career. There were strong rumors about Vidhya and Vidhu Vinod Chopra too. And then about say an Ileana and Ajay Devgan or Anushka and Anurag Kashyap. Of course you could dismiss it as being untrue but point is there are just as many blinds and rumors about talented actors indulging in casting couch as there are about the 'talentless ones' like you choose to call them. You are just over simplifying it by stating that you can make it in Bollywood with just talent, hardwork and perseverance. Not everyone is as lucky as an Alia.

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.

Madhuri sucked in her Acting in her initial films. Only from Tezaab did she started acting decently. Infact, i always say that if she cud made it big with her lack of acting n screen presence and then grow into a Diva. ANYONE can.
