Model and actress Edin Rose, who was recently seen in Bigg Boss 18, opened up about her shocking casting couch experience at the age of 21. She revealed that an old man touched her inappropriately when she had gone to his office to sign a contract for a project.
Appearing on Red FM Podcasts, Edin said, "The man gives me the contract, and I sign it. The next thing I know, his hand is over my thigh. I'm sitting with him, and I liked the script. There were a few big names in it, etc., etc. And then he says, 'You can come again tomorrow.' The first day I met him was around 1 p.m.-ish. The next day, he calls me around 7 p.m.-ish. The office— they had an office in his house, so it had cameras everywhere. He tells me to come at 7 p.m., and I'm like, 'Okay, chill.'
Edin further shared that after she signed the contract the next day, the old man's hand was over her thigh, leaving her shocked. "An old man—like, one more day he breathes, and he might literally die—and he has the nerve! And I was pretty young then. I'm 26 now, so in 2021, I was much younger," she added.
She stated that she was completely caught off guard, and when he did that, she was frozen for five minutes. Later, the man tried to get close to her face, and the moment he almost reached her neck, she snapped back to reality.
"I looked at the cameras and thought, 'This man has the nerve to do this in a room full of cameras!' But obviously, he had access to them. I got up, tore the contract, threw it at his face, and walked out. Then I blocked him. But if you speak too openly about these things, people start naming you, and you never get cast in this industry," concluded Edin.
