Tamil television actor Manya Anand has spoken out about a disturbing experience she says she faced while being considered for a film project. Her revelation adds her name to the growing list of artistes who are bravely discussing the casting couch problem in the entertainment world.
In a recent interview with ‘Cineulugam’, Manya said that Sreyas, the manager of actor Dhanush, had allegedly approached her for a role but crossed a clear professional boundary. According to her, the conversation quickly turned inappropriate when he hinted at “commitment,” a word often used as a coded reference to unethical demands.
