Directors wanted to sleep with me: Elli AvrRam on casting-couch

Bollywood actress Elli AvrRam also made some shocking revelations about how she faced discrimination, sexism and was also a victim of the casting couch.

The former Bigg Boss contestant AvrRam, in an interview to Pinkvilla, said, “I was told I needed to lose weight. They said I’m short and I was told about my forehead and my teeth.”

The actress who hails from Sweden, said, “One girl who was connected to Bollywood told me, ‘Oh, but sweetheart you can never become an actress because you’re too short.’”

“I choose not to listen to that. Within two months of me being in India, I felt I don’t have it. Some felt I looked old like an aunty because of my long hair,” she added.

In addition, the actress also made shocking revelations. She said that she had a disturbing experience with some directors. However, she didn’t reveal the names of such people. She said, “I had gone for a few meetings. I met these two directors who especially shaked my hand and scratched it with one of the fingers.”

“After that meeting, I asked my friend about it. He was shocked and told me that he (director) wanted to sleep with me.”

AvrRam, who kick-started her Bollywood career in 2013 with Mickey Virus, further said, “I remember this very big movie where they wanted to have me and I was so excited.. suddenly, the actor had problem and that’s why the producer took a call and replaced me.”

“That would have been it but it’s been hard times,” she summed up.
