TV Actress Yukti Kapoor Casting Couch Experience: Behind the glitz and glamor of the TV industry, sometimes such dreadful and dark truths are hidden, which are difficult to imagine. Well-known TV industry actress Yukti Kapoor remembered her days of struggle and made many shocking revelations. Yukti, who made her mark in the industry without any godfather, told how she had to face casting couch and embarrassing demands in her initial days. On one hand, a producer made her a dirty offer to become his ‘secret girlfriend’, on the other hand, a fake casting director lured her with a big advertisement by taking the names of big Bollywood superstars like Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan and made an obnoxious demand to spend the night with the director-producers.
Amidst these scary experiences, the actress also told how her unwavering faith in Neem Karoli Baba and Hanuman ji helped her come out of this quagmire safely. After this sensational revelation, a big debate has once again erupted in the TV world regarding exploitation and fraud of new artistes.
Producer offered to become secret girlfriend
Yukti Kapoor, who made a name for herself on the small screen without a film background, recalled the initial days of struggle in her career and said that when she was just 22 or 23 years old, she met a producer who crossed all limits during the meeting. Initially the meeting was about a professional project, but soon the person revealed his true nature and made such demands in front of Yukti that the ground slipped from under his feet.
The producer without hesitation told her that if she wanted work, she would have to party with him and become his ‘secret girlfriend’. Frightened by this sudden shameful demand, the first thought in Yukti’s mind was to run away from there. He was afraid that the door of the room might be locked from inside and something untoward might happen to him.
Shameful demand made by taking names of big stars
The second scary experience of Yukti’s life was an audition for an advertisement. He told that he had auditioned for a project and a person claiming to be a casting director had given him the contract. To add weight to his statement, the swindler took the names of veteran Bollywood actors like Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan, so that Yukti could have full confidence in him.
This offer was like a dream for a newcomer, but the very next day the real face of that person was revealed. The fraudster called and shamelessly said that to get the role, he would have to sleep with the ‘director, producer and actors’ of the film. A shocked Yukti later learned that the man was not actually a casting director at all, but a vicious scammer who had duped other girls as well.

Respect saved by the grace of Neem Karoli Baba and Hanuman ji
Recalling the story of coming out of these scary and dreadful moments, Yukti Kapoor mentioned her spiritual faith. The actress believes that during that period of crisis, her God, Neem Karoli Baba and Sankat Mochan Hanuman Ji protected her and brought her out safely.
After getting out of the clutches of that fake person, he met another girl who warned him that the man was a complete fraud. That girl explained to Yukti something that she would not forget throughout her life, that even if a girl bows down to the conditions of such people, there is no guarantee that she will get work or not.
The actress has given a strong warning to all the young artists and newcomers entering the industry that they should not blindly trust any audition or casting call. In today’s era, there is no dearth of scammers who use the names of big banners and superstars to trap new artists.
