Sophie Choudry Shares Her Tough Experiences With Casting Couch in Bollywood
Sophie Choudry recently spoke openly about her experiences with the casting couch in Bollywood, sharing the struggles she faced as a newcomer in the industry. Starting her career as a singer and later moving into acting, Sophie recalled how some industry insiders used vague phrases like “adjust” and “compromise” when discussing roles. At the time, neither she nor her mother fully understood what these terms really meant.
She revealed that she had to turn down several big opportunities because of uncomfortable situations. Sophie mentioned that people often wrongly assumed that those coming from abroad would be “easy,” leading to inappropriate requests. She recalled moments when men said things like, “I want to meet you more,” or “My marriage is having problems,” which were thinly veiled attempts to pressure her into crossing her boundaries.
Sophie also talked about how the industry tends to stereotype actors from outside India, thinking they are more likely to accept such advances. She stressed how important it is to know your limits and be careful of those who don’t have sincere intentions.
