Abha Ranta, who plays a small but interesting role in the show, has opened up about her experiences in the industry.
In an interview with Bollywood Now, Abha opened up about casting couch and said that because of her simple approach, she has not found herself in any such situations.
The actor agreed that she has received calls from people who urged to meet her and they didn’t even want an audition.
“But I have never gone.”Abha said, “Whenever somebody has called and said ‘meeting karlo audition nahi hai,’ I just don’t believe in it because I feel that if somebody is calling me without audition, the part is not going to be good.
Even if I get that part, I will not be confident as myself.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Abha Ranta (@abharanta_) However, the actor also said that nobody has directly approached her or requested any unethical favours.
