Sherlyn Chopra, who has been a part of several films in multiple languages, reveals that the code a lot of filmmakers use for the casting couch in Bollywood is ‘dinner’.

Sherlyn Chopra may not have done many Hindi films in her career, but she is as popular among the audience as any other leading lady of Bollywood. The model-turned-actress, who is often described as a sex symbol in the media, is the first Indian woman to have posed nude for the hugely popular Playboy magazine.

Sherlyn Chopra is known for calling a spade a spade. She proved her straightforwardness once again when a publication got in touch with her for an interview and asked her about the existence of casting couch in the Hindi film industry.

Casting couch is a reality in showbiz. Almost all celebrities have faced it in the beginning of their careers. While some choose to stay mum and not talk about the repugnant act at all, others go on to share their experience. Talking to a publication, Sherlyn Chopra revealed that she has also been on the receiving end of it in the start of her career.

The actress in an interview revealed that when she started her career in the industry, she would often approach filmmakers with her portfolio, hoping that they would see the same potential in her which she saw in herself. The filmmakers would ask her to meet for dinner. When the actress would ask them when she should come for the dinner, they would tell her to come at around 11 or 12 in the night.

Sherlyn Chopra went on to add that initially she was absolutely clueless about what was going on in the minds of those filmmakers. She took time to understand that they do not have a professional dinner in mind. She revealed that dinner means compromise for them and it’s a code work for casting couch in Bollywood.

Sherlyn Chopra said that once she understood their intentions, she would politely tell them that she was not interested in ‘dinner’ at all.
