Rajeev Khandelwal is one of those actors who openly shares his views with the world. He always says what he believes in. Rajiv has many times shared the experience of casting couch, which he faced in the initial phase of his career.
Recently, while talking about casting couch, he said that this situation is common. Often people in power take advantage of new artists. Recently, during an interview, Rajiv again talked about casting couch and said that he does not think that there has been any reduction in the crime rate yet.
Rajiv said that some people are looking for shortcuts
Talking to Free Press Journal, the actor said, ‘I will have to ask the women or the new people who come to this city for this. Do they feel more secure? Are they facing the same conditions that we faced when the industry was a small group? Where no one talked openly about some things and people considered them a part of the industry.
Talking about casting couch, Rajiv said, ‘Sometimes I look at it from a slightly different perspective. I understand that many times people, in their weak state, prepare themselves for this, but somewhere they are also looking for an easier way. You take such a step during an emotional or weak phase of your life, but at the same time you are also looking for shortcuts. Otherwise you would have fought like others, like many people fight.
Rajiv further said that when he hears someone saying that he was exploited for years, a question arises in his mind. That’s why you were there for so many years. Perhaps you too were looking for an easy way. Now when things don’t go as per your expectation, you are calling it exploitation. It is known that Rajiv got the most popularity from the serial Kahiin To Hoga.
