Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood actress Esha Gupta has recently opened up about much-talked casting couch that purportedly prevails in any film industry including India's most celebrated one, Bollywood.

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Esha recounted her twin experiences where she faced casting couch.

The actress said, "Yeah, two people, They’ve done that to me. One of them, well I did the film still. Because it was a little sly move. I think they also expected an outdoor shoot, we’ll just be really nice to her, things may change then.

"But I am also really smart, I said I am not going to sleep Alone. I used to make my makeup artist sleep in the room with me. I said ‘Oh I am scared, I won’t sleep’. But, it’s not the ghosts that you are scared of, it’s the person."

"Then there was where halfway through the film, the co-producer told the maker of the film, ‘I dont want her in the movie. Why is she there?’ This is after 4-5 days of starting the shoot. He said, ‘No she is my Heroine .’ The maker came to me and asked ‘Did this happen with this guy?’ and I looked at him and laughed saying yes sir," she added.

Esha revealed the second incident happened as she had refused to sleep with the person.

Esha, 35, made her Bollywood debut in 2012 with 'Jannat' starring opposite actor Emraan Hashmi.

She later went on to act in films 'Humshakals', 'Raaz 3D', 'Rustom', 'Baadshaho' et al.

The actress was last seen in 'Nakaab' which was released on MX Player.
