In a conversation with Aaj Tak, Ratan Raajputh recalled a casting couch incident and said that she was called for an audition wherein a casting agent had forced her to drink juice. After the audition, she was taken to a restaurant wherein she was asked to wait for the second round. In the interaction, Ratan revealed that the ‘agent’ continued to ‘coax’ her to have the drink. “After that, my friend and I reached home then and I started doubting if there was something mixed in the cold drink. I was feeling a bit dizzy. After 40 minutes, I got a call to come in for another audition. The script was utter trash. Many people would tell me why didn’t you say no but that time, you start doubting yourself that you are leaving an opportunity,” she said.

Talking about the second audition she received, Ratan revealed that it was in a weird place. She added, “It was a very weird place. I entered the place and saw that the whole place was a mess, the lighting was bad, there were clothes thrown around everywhere. I saw a girl there lying unconscious. I could sense that whatever had to happen was already done there.” Although Ratan decided to walk out of the place, she further asserted that someone quite big from the entertainment industry was involved in it. Reacting to how she would act if she meets that person again, Ratan concluded, “I want to slap that person who did this to me. He is still a big name in the industry. They should do this to people who are willing but not trap new kids.”
