The term Casting Couch says it all
by Karen on Sep 12, 2006 02:14 AM

These allegations that BB has made may or may not be true.

IF NOT TRUE --> then Indian organizations in the US need to reconsider the use of Bollywood celebrities to attract people to these parades - I mean really, what do Bollywood celebs have to do with Indian independence - surely they don't represent the values held by our founding fathers. They would turn over in their ashes if they knew how corrupt India was politically (including ALL gov't authorities and politians) and culturally (Bollywood would be the perfect example here, plus did you see any Indians reject any western influences???)...

IF TRUE -->Of course the offenders should be punished - BUT isn't there a double standard here - I'm not saying that it is right, but there are all kinds of harassment towards Indian women in Bollywood, I don't see those B***ards being prosecuted???? Known as the "casting couch" - almost every girl that wants to get into Bollywood needs to have an affair in order to get a role - unless of course you are the likes of Karishma Kapoor whose family essentially owns the film industry. I love how Bollywood expects people here to be responsible for their actions, but not in India???
