In a candid and emotional interview, actress Isha Koppikar shared some of the troubling experiences she faced during her early years in the Bollywood industry. Reflecting on her journey, Isha detailed incidents that underscored the darker side of the entertainment world.

Isha recounted being approached by an A-list actor who suggested a private meeting, a proposal that left her deeply uncomfortable. She recalled, "One actor asked me to meet him alone, without my driver or anyone else, because there were rumours about him being involved with other actresses." She continued, "He said, ‘There are already controversies about me, and the staff spreads rumours.’ But I refused him and told him that I couldn’t come alone. He was an A-list actor from the Hindi film industry. I must be around 22-23 years old at that time.” She went on to add, “I was 18 when a secretary and an actor approached me for casting couch. They told me that to get work, you have to be ‘friendly' with actors.” Isha further added how many would touch her inappropriately and tell her to be friendly with the heroes in a sleazy manner.
