Surveen Chawla says a director tried to kiss her moments after discussing her husband and marriage: ‘We were in his cabin…'
Several members of the film industry have spoken about having unpleasant casting couch experiences. In a new interview, actor Surveen Chawla opened up about an incident where a director tried to kiss her, even though he knew that she was recently married. In an exclusive interview with Hauterrfly, Surveen opened up about the incident, but admitted that she has had similar experiences multiple times. She added, '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, 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,' she said. She continued, '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.' The actor had shared in an earlier interview how a director from the South industry wanted her to sleep with him. Surveen said that he communicated his intention via a third person, as he wasn't fluent in Hindi or English. A post shared by Surveen Chawla (@surveenchawla) Surveen had said that certain people 'get you in this space where you question yourself.' The actor then recalled the time when she was trying to make a transition from television to films, and during her first film meeting in Mumbai, her 'appearance, weight and waist size, chest size' was questioned. Surveen made her acting debut with the television soap opera Kahin To Hoga in 2003. She was a part of TV shows like Kasautii Zindagi Kay, Kaajjal and 24. She made her film debut in 2008 with Kannada film Paramesha Panwala, and was later seen in Bollywood in films like Hum Tum Shabana, Ugly, Hate Story 2, Parched and short film Chhuri. She had been a part of several prominent Punjabi movies too. Surveen made her web series debut with Sacred Games. A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) She can currently be seen in Criminal Justice season 4, alongside Pankaj Tripathi. She is also a part of Rana Naidu Season 2, which will be out on Netflix on June 13.

Bharti Singh, Reem Shaikh, Haarsh Limbachiyaa weigh in on shrinking budgets for TV shows: ‘Actors are being hired on a monthly salary of Rs 50,000'
Actress Reem Shaikh, who is currently seen on Laughter Chefs Season 2, has been working in the TV industry for the last 15 years. During a recent appearance on Bharti Singh's podcast, Reem spoke about the ongoing budget constraints in the television industry and highlighted how actors today are being paid significantly less. Haarsh Limbachiyaa also spoke about how the market has gotten very bad, and today, big-budget shows are not being made. On the podcast, Reem said, 'Having a set in Filmcity is a privilege now. No outdoor schedules happen anymore, and no one is willing to have a set before Naigaon, which takes four hours to travel to and fro.'Adding to this, Haarsh said, 'Very few big shows like Laughter Chef are being made today. Budgets have reduced. I am seeing such a big show after 3-4 years. Now it feels like TV is struggling. It is on a down curve.' Also Read: Reem Shaikh on being threatened by a man on a show's set: 'Be grateful I didn't make your life miserable' Reem Shaikh continued, 'After I did Raabta, I did two shows back-to-back on Colors. After these three major shows, I thought I had come into the category where I would get paid Rs 1.5 to 2 lakhs per day. This is still a small amount. These amounts were paid to actors per day 15 years back. I thought if not that much, something around that. But sadly, the budget is not even close to these figures. After working so hard for 15 years, delivering so much work, the budgets are still not there. As a child artist, I wasn't paid much, and now that I am an adult, budgets have been cut down.' Haarsh Limbachiyaa recalled the time he was mind-blown to learn that actress Shweta Tiwari was paid Rs 1 lakh per day for Kasautii Zindagi Kay. Sharing her opinion, Bharti Singh said, 'Budgets are cut and more work is expected.' Reem Shaikh added, 'Knowing my body of work, people assume that since I have been earning since childhood, I must have made lots of properties by now, but that's not the fact. Now, when our turn to earn that money has come, the entire situation has only changed.' Haarsh also revealed how he and Bharti have been living off loans. 'We face a similar problem. Seeing me host a show on one channel and Bharti host a show on another channel, people think I would be charging Rs 20 lakhs per day, Bharti would be getting Rs 50 lakhs per day. That's not true. We are surviving on loans, and if we don't take the work that comes to us, somebody else will.' Bharti quipped, 'We are so much on loans that even when the milkman comes, we think an agent has come to take the loan back.' A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) Haarsh went on to share, 'Only the perception is big now. I come across videos of the fees actors get paid for these reality shows. It said Krushna gets Rs 35 lakhs. I called Krushna asking to give me some money if he earned so much. This has become a big problem, and budgets have been brutally slashed. Production houses, cameramen all are suffering. Directors, technicians, and producers everyone say that the market is very bad. In a situation like this, even artiste slash their fees. Which is why we chose to make videos on YouTube. Earlier, when we would look for a lead for a show, their per-day budget at the start was Rs 5000.' Listening to this, Reem Shaikh revealed that now actors get monthly salaries. She said, 'Budgets are affected in the industry only; everything else is getting expensive. Now, a new trend that has begun on TV is that instead of per day, you get paid monthly. Actors are hired for Rs 50000 monthly. Then they can make you work for 22 days or 30 days, and you are paid monthly. Actors who don't have a side income through social media do suffer then.'

Kasautii Zindagi Kay fame Suzanne Bernert now a Delhi resident, talks about dealing with the capital's summer heat- Exclusive
With ample sunshine, longer days and soaring temperatures, Delhi is currently enjoying sunny days. But with the warm weather conditions, staying motivated to maintain your fitness routine can be a challenge. In a conversation with us, actress Suzanne Bernert , who was last seen in the TV show 'Pyar Ka Pehla Naam: Radha Mohan' shared some refreshing and effective tips to keep fit and healthy all summer long. Sharing her experience in Delhi she said, "I now own a home in Delhi also along with one in Mumbai. My partner Arjun Hardus is based in the capital. It was last year in May I had just come from Mumbai for the first time, not for a shoot but to stay. And it was a very taxing time as it is a completely different level than in Mumbai. This year it is much better as I have been here sliding into the heat. The best is to stay super hydrated with lots of fresh water and coconut, sugarcane or fruit juice. One change in my lifestyle that happened here is that after breaking the habit of not having any soft drinks for over 10 years I am back with having one per day. I try my best to be in a cooler temperature, thanks to the air-conditioners! Also, I get easily tired around 2 pm and half an hour of nap restores my energy." She continued, "I never have no sunscreen on! Even while I'm at home. I found great brands here that won't break the budget but are really good. I use actives in my skin routine so sunscreen is even more important!" Sharing some tips ahead the German actress based in India added, "For all the girlies out there! If you use Vitamin C or any other anti-ageing or anti-pigmentation, you must need sunscreen! The skin gets more sensitive and the effect you are getting from your product will get spoiled. So you need to be more careful and fix your daily skincare routine." The 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' actress also mentioned, "One need to keep in mind that you may not be able to work out as long or as hard as usual when it's very hot. Taking frequent breaks in the shade, and drinking water before you're thirsty is compulsory. Allowing yourself time to adapt to the heat. Also, I feel wearing lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothes helps. Protect yourself from the sun with sunglasses, a hat or an umbrella. " On the work front, Suzanne has been part of several TV shows, including Kasautii Zindagi Kay , Jhansi Ki Rani, Sanskaar Laxmi, and Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat. She has also been featured in films like No Problem, The Accidental Prime Minister, and the Telugu film Yatra 2.
