Behind the bright world of Bollywood is a darker reality that many performers grapple with. While many people have freely discussed encountering the casting couch, Mouni Roy has recently recounted a troubling occurrence from her early days in the industry. In an interview with Apoorva Mukhija on Spice It Up, the actress revealed that, while she had never been on the casting couch, she did confront appalling misbehaviour at the age of 21.

Mouni Roy recalls the scarring incident of misbehaviour

When Mouni was asked about whether she faced the casting couch or if someone misbehaved with her in Bollywood, the actress quipped, "Casting couch toh nahi hua, but badtameezi hui hai(Never faced casting couch but was misbehaved with). I was 21-22 years old, and I had gone to someone’s office where people were there inside the office where narration was being given. Suddenly, there was a scene where the girl falls into the swimming pool, she loses consciousness, and the hero gets her out and gives her mouth-to-mouth respiration, and she gains consciousness."
