Actress Barkha Singh, who was recently seen in Criminal Justice 4, recalled receiving a shocking e-mail offering a role in a South film but in exchange for "compromise". She shared that while she has never faced any casting couch experience on face, she has proof that it happened over e-mail.
"Someone put it on my e-mail. I think it was something for the South, and I have a proof where this person was like, ‘These many shoot days required, and the vitals should be at least 36; compromise is required’. You are giving it in writing means you are so okay with it," she told Hauterrfly.
She went on to say, "Naam nahi daala ki kiske saath compromise..."

Barkha revealed that it did not happen long back, but instead, it happened "within this decade" itself. "No one has said it in the face. But I think I also — because I know this exists — and I’m very wary of it. So, like, I try very hard to not get only in those situations," she added.
