After the Bollywood's ace choreographer Saroj Khan, Rakhi Sawant has now given her opinion on the ongoing debate on Casting Couch. She has also mentioned the sexual harassment of strugglers in the Bollywood industry. In her interview, Rakhi Sawant admits that she was also a victim of Casting Couch. 

During an interview, Rakhi said "When I was a struggler, yes I did face the casting couch. But it wasn't as if every producer or director I approached was guilty. As in every walk of life, there is sexual corruption in the film industry also. As far as I was concerned, this was just in the beginning. I suggest all strugglers to have patience and not surrender to the temptation of shortcuts,", quotes Pinkvilla.

In her statement, Rakhi completely supported Saroj Khan in the opinion. She also agreed to this that there is no pressure involved when sexual favours are exchanged in the industry.

Rakhi further added saying that nobody rapes anyone in this film industry. It's all consensual and voluntary. In this, I fully support Sarojji. At least she has spoken her mind and let the world know the truth. People in Bollywood don't speak out the truth about the casting couch although it is happening right here in front of their eyes. They feel they are making their way up why should they bother with what's happening around them?

She includes, She really admire Sarojji for letting the world know the reality that they have to face every day. Sarojji has seen what goes here. I totally agree with her. Rakhi also gave a bit stress on her words when she spoke about Casting Couch in men. Related to this she said that it's not just girls who are victims of sexual give-and-take, but boys too are fairly prone to negotiate in the entertainment and fashion industry.
