Earlier she had also spoken about sending nude pictures and videos to directors and producers. “They see the videos and give no roles. They have even asked for live nude videos from me. That is the extent to which they go to take advantage of women who seek roles,” she said.
“They give roles to actresses from Mumbai or others places, whereas we local girls are only sexually exploited on the promise of being given roles,” she added.
