Isha Koppikar opens up about facing casting couch that left her 'completely broken and disillusioned'

After staying away from the glam world for a long time, actress Isha Koppikar has recently made her come back with Hindi and Tamil language thriller web series. In an interview, she has now opened up about facing a casting couch incident, which left her ‘completely broken and devastated.' In a conversation with an entertainment portal, while revealing that once a male actor asked her to meet him alone, without her staff, she said, 'I was completely broken and disillusioned. Because l thought that what matters is how you look and act but what actually matters is that you are in the hero’s good books and good books meant this.' She further added, 'I feel all of us have our threshold and priority. For me, my life is bigger than my work. At the end of the day, it is my conscience, I need to look at the mirror and feel good about it. There may be people who beg to differ and would get a good night’s sleep after doing all this.' This is not the first Isha has opened up about this incident. Earlier, in an interview with ETimes, the actress recalled the same incident and said, 'In mid-2000, I was called by a renowned producer who said that you have to be in the good books of the hero. I didn’t know what he meant. So, I called up the hero, who asked me to meet him alone. At that point, he was being accused of infidelity, so he asked me to visit him minus my staff. I called the producer and told him that I am here due to my talent and looks and if that can get me good work, then it’s good enough. I was thrown out of the film.'
