However, Salman denied the existence of casting couch
When Salman was asked about the existence of casting couch in the industry, the actor completely denied it.
He said, "No one has come and confirmed it. I have been there for the longest time, my father has been here (for) more (time) than me.Till today I have not heard anyone come and say it straight out."
He also stated that flirting is normal.
Sexual Harassment
Ironically, Entertainment industry is the hub of sexual harassment
In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein incident, a lot of people from Hollywood have openly spoken about sexual harassment cases. In fact, it has opened a can of worms.
We are aware of the deep-seated misogyny and sexism prevalent across industries. In Hollywood, it is just more pronounced.
But, are the men and women of Bollywood ready to name their Weinsteins? Perhaps, not.
