And we spoke about that in the meeting. He asked me how it was going and what my husband did, and it was just us speaking inside his cabin because he had a big office. So, when I opened the door and he leaned towards me trying to kiss, and I literally had to push him back and said, 'What are you trying to do here?' Walk off dude. My instant response was, 'What are you doing'. I just walked off.' She also shared an incident with a National Award-winning director who did not know how to speak in Hindi, so he gave a message through an intermediary person that he wanted to spend time with her. Surveen shared that she sensed something was off. 'This was the code language, and I gave them the time to really say what I thought he was saying, but finally I asked him whether he was really asking that the director wants to sleep with me? 'Sir, I am sorry you are knocking on the wrong door. I am not in for bartering myself in exchange for work'. I will never forget these lines." Surveen has worked in several films and shows, notably in Sacred Games, Decoupled, and Rana Naidu. Her new show Criminal Justice Season 4 is now streaming on JioHotstar.

Surveen Chawla particularly recalled meeting a director at his office in Veera Desai Road. She mentioned that the filmmaker was well aware that she was married. They even talked about her married life as the director asked her what her husband did and how it was going. However, in a shocking turn of events, he tried kissing her while she was about to leave.

Surveen Chawla Recalls Facing Casting Couch Even After Marriage: 'He Tried To Kiss Me'
Last Updated: Actor Surveen Chawla has revealed disturbing details about the casting couch, including a shocking incident where a director attempted to kiss her after a meeting. Actor Surveen Chawla, known for her powerful performances and fierce honesty, has once again spoken out about the grim underbelly of the entertainment industry. In a recent interview with The Male Feminist, Chawla opened up about facing multiple instances of harassment, both before and after marriage—including a particularly unsettling encounter with a director who tried to kiss her after a professional meeting. 'I must have experienced the casting couch multiple times," Chawla said. 'I will tell you a tale about Mumbai's Veera Desai Road only. After the meeting at his office cabin, he came to see me off at the gate, and this was after I got married. And the strange thing was that we talked about this in the meeting also." Recalling the moment, she shared, 'He asked me how it was going and what my husband did, and it was just us speaking inside his cabin because he had a big office. So, when I came to the door to say bye, he leaned towards me trying to kiss, and I had to push him back. I was startled and asked him what he was doing, and I just walked off." But this wasn't a one-off incident. Chawla also opened up about another deeply disturbing episode that occurred in the South Indian film industry. The actor revealed, 'There was a director who couldn't speak Hindi or English, so he used a friend as an interpreter. Through this friend, he basically told me that I had to sleep with him during the shoot." These candid revelations echo her earlier remarks about being judged unfairly in the industry, particularly for her physical appearance. In a previous interview with RJ Siddharth Kannan, Chawla disclosed that she was body-shamed during auditions. 'They said I was too fat for South Indian films," she had said. 'Women in the industry are often judged unfairly and made to feel low about themselves because of how they look." Despite these dehumanizing experiences, Surveen Chawla has continued to carve out a strong career. Her recent performances in Criminal Justice Season 4 have been praised by audiences and critics alike. She is now gearing up for her return in Rana Naidu Season 2 on Netflix, where she stars opposite Rana Daggubati. First Published:
