Ramayana actress Indira Krishnan reveals casting couch struggle with South film director: 'I came to sell my talent, not myself'
Indira Krishnan, a veteran Bollywood and TV actress, revealed her casting couch struggles with a South Indian film director. Nearly cast in a major film, she chose to quit due to uncomfortable pressure. She later shifted to television, valuing respect and growth. She will soon portray Kaushalya in 'Ramayana'. Ramayana actress Indira Krishnan is a versatile actress, having worked in Bollywood and the television industry. Recently, in an interview, she shared an unsettling experience involving a casting couch situation with a South Indian film director. Although she was close to being cast in the film, she ultimately chose not to continue due to the discomfort she faced. Here's what transpired for Indira Krishnan. Indira Krishnan on facing casting couch situations multiple times Krishnan sat down with Bollywood Bubble to candidly acknowledge having faced casting couch situations multiple times in her career. She said that she has felt it not just once but many times. She particularly experienced it more in the South rather than in Hindi or Mumbai industries. She was almost finalized for a very big project by a major filmmaker. However, due to some differences of opinion regarding the project, despite being completely prepared, a small issue—a single line, a single statement—ended everything. Because of that one remark, the entire relationship and opportunity ended. The moment Indira Krishnan realized the opportunity was lost Kirshnan recalled a moment of despair, thinking the film had slipped away. Upon returning home, she messaged him, feeling overwhelmed by his increased expectations and pressure. Fearing the situation would sour their professional relationship if filming began, she decided to be direct. She believed that clear communication, even if a bit harsh, was essential for maintaining momentum and energy to move forward. She continued, "I remember thinking, 'No way,' I closed my eyes and said, 'Shit, this film has slipped through my fingers too.' When I reached home, I typed a message to him because of the way he was talking, his body language, his expectations had increased a lot. Along with that, the pressure also started to rise; I felt I was not able to handle the situation. I thought, 'What if the shoot starts tomorrow and this relationship gets spoiled?' So I told him very politely, 'Sir, I have come to sell my talent, not myself. ' Maybe my words were a bit harsh, but I felt the clearer you are, the better it is. It helps you stay in momentum, your energy builds up, and you can move forward." Inidira Krishnan on shifting focus to television for respect and growth The actress said that this was not the first time she had faced such a situation; in fact, she has encountered it many times and lost some really good projects because of it. At that point, she shifted to television, not as a fallback option, but because she genuinely felt that as an artist, she was exploring herself and showcasing her talent. Another reason was that she was receiving just as much respect there. She acknowledged hearing that a lot happens on TV as well, but believed that during that time, everyone had to face many challenges. Indira Krishnan's upcoming projects On the work front, Indira Krishnan will be next seen in Ranbir Kapoor 's Ramayana. She will play Kaushalya, the mother of Lord Rama.
