The diva spoke about facing the casting couch in her career. Speaking to Hauterrfly in an episode of The Male Feminist, Surveen recalled how she faced the casting couch in the South as well as in Bollywood.
During the interaction, Surveen said in Hindi, After the meeting at his office cabin, he came to see me off at the gate, and this is after I got married. 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.
She even added saying, 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 even recalled an incident with a National Award-winning director who did not know how to speak in Hindi and gave a message through an intermediary person that he wanted to spend time with her.
“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.
On the work front, Surveen was part of shows like Sacred Games, Decoupled, and Rana Naidu. Her recently released show Criminal Justice Season 4 is now streaming on JioHotstar.
