When a director crossed the line with Jasmin Bhasin during an audition
Jasmin recalled going for an audition in a hotel room and said, "I had come to Bombay for auditions, and in a hotel in Juhu, there was this meeting. A lot of girls and actresses were there waiting in the lobby, and there were many coordinators. Everybody was going in for the meeting. When it was my turn, I got scared seeing a man having a drink and telling me to audition. Even the coordinator left the room. So first, I got scared."
She continued, "After that, he told me, 'You have to do this scene.' So I told him, 'Sir, okay, I will prepare the scene and come back tomorrow.' He said, 'No, no, you have to do it now.' He basically told me a scene, for example, 'Your lover is going, you have to stop him.' So I did that. He said, 'No, not like this. You have to...' then he locked me in and was trying to do something else. But I used my skills and ran off from there. That day, I decided no meetings would ever happen in a hotel room — never in my life."
