I've Never Faced Casting Couch: Ranbir Kapoor

Darpan News Desk IANS, 24 Apr, 2018 01:43 PM
  • I've Never Faced Casting Couch: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor says he has never faced the casting couch.

 

The actor commented when he was asked for his opinion on veteran choreographer Saroj Khan's controversial statement that casting couch "provides livelihood at least" in the film industry.

 

 

"I have never faced it (casting couch). If it's there, it is the worst thing," Ranbir said at the teaser launch of his upcoming film "Sanju" here on Tuesday.

 

Khan's comment drew ire on social media, following which she apologised.

 
 

As a response to his comment, Hirani and Chopra, known for their stellar contributions to the industry, laughed. People, who were already furious at Khan’s remarks, took to Twitter to call out Kapoor as well.

 

From innumerable references to his privilege as a member of the Kapoor family, to the “selective outrage” Bollywood resorts to, they had a lot to say to Kapoor.

 

“Wow. At least should have had the decency to reply to it sincerely. Look at them laughing it off. At least have some respect towards women who might be victims of it. And please, selective outrage mat kara karo bollywood.”

 

“What a bunch of insensitive dolts.” “I mean just like women who might not have faced sexual assault/harrassment can be advocates of women’s safety, similarly these star kids can also try to understand the other side’s pov. It doesnt require experience. It requires sensitivity. Which sadly they dont have.” were some of the comments doing the rounds of the Internet.

 

Here is what others had to say.
