MUMBAI – Priyanka Chopra recently talked about a shade of industry seldom talked about at a lecture; men going through casting couch and sexual misconduct on the male population of the industry.
Priyanka said, “Men also go through casting couch.”
To which Rithvik Dhanjani, the host of the show said: “It’s the lower level people who want to take advantage of the struggling newcomers. Big directors and producers never do such things. I’ve been lucky to have worked with good people in the industry.”
Earlier, at the Penguin Annual Lecture on “Breaking The Glass Ceiling: Chasing a dream” at the 11th edition of the event, Priyanka spoke about women being survivors, “I wouldn’t call women victims, I would call them survivors. But there shouldn’t be a world where women have to survive, there should be a world where women thrive.”
