Rajneesh Duggal feels young aspirants coming from smaller towns sometimes get lured into it, but at the same time, he feels the industry has streamlined the casting process in a professional way over the years.
Actor Rajneesh Duggal, who made the transition from the world of modelling to Bollywood with 1920 a decade ago, says he has never experienced the casting couch, which he feels is a matter of personal choice for an individual. “I have never experienced it, touch wood, but I do feel it is an individual’s choice. No one really forces you to get into a trap. Somewhere it’s people’s own desperation maybe, or they get blinded into it,”
Rajneesh feels young aspirants coming from smaller towns sometimes get lured into it, but at the same time, he feels the industry has streamlined the casting process in a professional way over the years. “It is quite easy to (reach) casting directors these days, and at least reaching out to their offices. Casting directors like Mukesh Chhabra, Honey Trehan and Shanoo Sharma are doing a great job,” he added.
