I sent them my profile and photographs and the next day I got a call from him saying that I will have to travel to Hyderabad to meet the director and the producer. I agreed to travel but asked him to give me the details of the film. I informed him that I would travel with my mother. Then he told me that there is one condition that I have to compromise with him. “
Madalsa Sharma
Anupamaa actress Madalsa Sharma was also asked for favours in return but she refused and walked away. She said, “Personally, whenever I have felt uncomfortable in anybody's presence or during a meeting, what to do? Just get up and walk out of that door.

Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya
Divyanka Tripathi, who is a household name now, was also asked for indecent favours. In an interaction with an entertainment portal, Divyanka had said, "You finish a show, and then your struggle starts again. There was a time when there was no money. I had to pay my bills, EMIs, etc. There was a lot of pressure. Then an offer comes, ‘You have to be with this director and you’ll get a big break’. But why me? I was told that ‘you are really intellectual, this, that.’ Selling it off like my life will be made just by that and everyone is doing it." Adding further, she had said, "People who make such offers, this is how they lure you, by saying that everyone else is doing it too. This is before the #MeToo movement. Sometimes, they even threaten to destroy your career if you don’t go along."
