TV star Sanaya Irani had a bitter experience in Bollywood, pressured to wear 'bikini' along with body shaming

Sanaya Irani was asked in the interview if she had faced the casting couch. Recalling an incident that happened with her in the South, she said, "Long ago, a person from the South wanted to meet me for a film. At that time, I did not want to do films, but, he was desperate to meet me. So I just went and after the meeting, he said that 'we need an actress with a slightly fuller body.' To this, I said that 'then I am not like that. Many times, I feel that people meet girls in the industry so that they can know whether she has slept with someone or not."

Talking about Bollywood, Sanaya recalled another incident when she was asked to call a Bollywood director. The actress said that there was a lot of misunderstanding about that project, as she was told that she was auditioning for a music video, but it was a film. Sanaya Irani finally agreed to call him and when she did, she was told to call him later as he was in a meeting.

After calling him again, during the conversation, Sanaya Irani felt that the director was being rude towards her and she was in no mood to tolerate it. When the actress asked him clearly about the reason for the call, the director said, "I am making a big film, there are many big heroes in it and you have to wear a bikini. To this I said, 'What is my role?' So he said, 'Do you have no problem wearing a bikini?' He was being a little rude to me and I hung up."
