Asha Negi had to face casting couch at a young age

Recalling her casting couch experience, Asha said, 'When this incident happened with me, I was barely 20 years old. At that time, there used to be coordinators who used to help us get work. In connection with work, I met a coordinator. At that time he had called me to meet alone. I was very happy to meet him. Then we started talking about television. He was almost trying to brainwash me that this is what happens and this is how you will grow. 

He told me that all the big TV actors have done this. You too will have to do all this to become a heroine. Although, he didn't say anything so openly, but I understood his intentions. After this I refused him and said that at that time I felt that if such things happen here, then I am not interested in this career. Then he left as if from there, I called my friends and told them everything, then my friend said that all this happens. My initial experience was quite bad like this.'
