MUMBAI: While actor Ankit Siwach started his career on TV in 2017, his modeling career in Delhi began 12 years ago. “I quit modeling in four months after I saw what the world was all about. I wasn’t allowed to use my brain I wasn’t allowed to speak. I was just a good-looking boy who would wear clothes and get clicked,” Siwach recalls.

While sharing his modelling day experience, Siwach explains, “I always used to think everyone is a good human. But that becomes your weakness and anyone can take advantage of you. And I’ve faced that during modeling. There were instances when I was asked to send pictures without clothes. I was asked to come to parties that weren’t related to work. It was almost harassment as I wasn’t prepared for it,” Siwach shares.
“I’ve faced a lot of proposals, and hints and people have also been direct, in terms of compromising if not for work then to make a career. I’ve been given examples of several actors. ‘You think you can make it big without compromising,’ is what many say. Nobody forces anyone,” Siwach explains.
When asked about physical assault, Siwach denies anything physical however, reveals being forced emotionally. “I was forced emotionally and made to believe it (compromising) is the only way to make it happen. After coming to Mumbai, it didn’t happen.”
