Aspiring Kannada actress alleges casting couch, read Facebook post here

We have all heard of stories on casting couch, on how one time or the other most actresses in the film industry were approached for sexual favours. We have read many such incidents by actresses from various film industries sharing their experiences with media and on various social media platforms.

In a recent Facebook post, an aspiring Kannada actress has alleged that a documentary filmmaker Chandrakant Sonnad sent her messages on Facebook asking her for sexual favours. 

(The identity of the actress is being withheld on request.)

Here is what the actress has posted on her wall: 
 

Yeah...I wondered when people used to say entertainment field is worse, no safety, no value for talent bla bla .. But today I feel it's totally true.. Coz here it's like You sleep and in return you will get a chance. This is how artists are being treated 😢 Guys artists should be appreciated for their talent.. But reality is really worse... 😕 WE ARE ARTISTS. NOT PROSTITUTES 🙏

Here, this person was asking me to act in one of the kannada movieIt's not only me who is facing this but all new talents
His words were so bad I couldn't resist sharing this with you all. Guys

DON'T BUY TALENTS RATHER RESPECT THEM. 
BE A HUMAN NOT A COWARD.
