In an interaction with ETimes, Charu Asopa shared her struggles in the early stages of her career and said, “When I had left Bikaner, I only had dreams in my eyes. When I first came to Mumbai, my entire family came with me. I got a house on rent and after I settled, my father and brother left. My mother stayed back and would accompany me to the auditions and meetings. We had heard so much about the industry that she didn’t want to leave me alone.”

She also recalled the horrifying moment and revealed that even she faced the casting couch. The actress was barely 20-21 years old at that time, and shared that she was meeting a producer from a big production house. 


Charu revealed that the person told her to compromise with a few known people, to which she straight up refused. 

“I went for a movie meeting during that phase and met a producer from a very well-known production house. The casting director kept the contract in front of me, I had a pen in my hand, and I could have signed the contract and bagged the opportunity. Par jo baat kahi casting director ne uske baad mujhe 3 din tak bukhar nahi uttra. He asked me to compromise with a few people he knew. I turned it down straight,” the actress recalled. 

During the same interaction, Charu also shared times when she faced rejection in the industry. She also mentioned how she would make attempts to look good and travel to the place of the audition, but by the time she would reach, everything would become faded and she looked messed up.
