If you speak on casting couch, it’ll end your career: Ileana

Of late, many heroines have opened up about casting couch.

Ileana, who is currently promoting Raid, revealed why many actors have chosen not to speak up about it.

“It might sound cowardly, but I do agree that if one speaks out about the casting couch, it will end their career.” Recalling an incident, “Years ago, a junior artiste down South, who was being propositioned by a big producer, sought my advice on how to deal with it. I told her that it’s something that I couldn’t decide for her. It is her decision and that nobody could force it on her. Many people have done it and it’s up to her whether she wants to go ahead and do it or not. As far as exploitation and harassment is concerned, I wouldn’t stand for it,” she said.
