Casting couch has long been a topic of discussion within the film industry. Recently, Mirzya actress Saiyami Kher shared an experience from the early stages of her career. In her recent interview, Saiyami Kher recalled the only time she experienced a casting couch call when a woman called her for a Telugu film and asked her to make compromises.
Speaking about the incident, Saiyami Kher said, “I have been very fortunate with regards to all the offers that I have received. In the film industry, there was this one agent who had called me for a Telugu film when I was 19 or 20 years old. She said, ‘You know, you will have to make compromises.’ I was trying to test her, because it was a woman saying it to another woman. I felt that deeply.”

She further added, “So I said, ‘Ma’am, I’m not understanding what you are saying.’ I kept repeating that. And then finally she said, ‘See, you have to understand.’ So I said, ‘I’m sorry that you feel that I’m someone who needs to go down this route. There are certain limits that I have never crossed in my life.’ So yes, I have experienced it once, but it was just that one time when a woman actually asked me this.”
Most recently, Saiyami Kher appeared in an action drama titled Jaat, playing the role of a sub-inspector.
