EXCLUSIVE! Shubh Mangal Mein Dangal Fame Sangeeta Odwani Shares SHOCKING Details About Her Casting Couch Experience: ‘A Popular Producer Tried On Me’
Sangeeta Odwani asserted that it's not easy to get a break on any platform, especially for outsiders
Actress Sangeeta Odwani is known for featuring in television shows like Shubh Mangal Mein Dangal, and Devi Adi Parashakti. Now, in a rather shocking turn of events, she has revealed stirring details about her casting couch experience and declared that actor’s life is not easy.
She asserted that it's not easy to get a break on any platform, especially for outsiders. Odwani also claimed that “people target you, and try to influence you to sleep around.”
In an exclusive chat, Sangeeta Odwani told SpotboyE, "Actors life is never easy. Especially when you are an outsider and people target you and try to influence you to sleep around. I remember during my initial days a popular producer tried on me and asked me to meet him alone. During that time me and my friend Sonali (Singh) who's also an actress now, arrived together to dream city Mumbai to pursue our acting dream.”
She continued to share the harrowing details from the initial days of her career and said, “We went together for an audition and later were asked to meet the producer. So when I took her along with me, he cancelled the meeting saying I was supposed to come alone as they are going to launch me. So that needs to be a personal meeting. I could really doubt his intentions, but he was popular and very powerful so instead of taking action against him we went back and didn't entertain him anymore."
The actress, who's now enjoying a successful career, revealed that she was heartbroken to learn that an actress needs to compromise to get a good break in showbiz.
Speaking to SpotboyE, Sangeeta said, "I was heartbroken because I was puzzled that whatever we listen that an actress need to compromise to get a good break in showbiz, was it true! But by God's grace, I gave myself another chance and proved that it was a myth. Actually, it's upon an individual whether he wants to choose a shortcut or keep trying with faith in their talent and destiny. I soon got good work and there was no look back. I achieved everything till now was all because of my talent and hard work and I'm proud of myself. I have acted on all three platforms, he is a TV, movie or web series."
Sangeeta is also known to have been featured in The Big Bull, Vintage Boys and Manghadant.
