Shama Sikander told us, “The industry has changed so much and for the better. Today, young producers are much more professional and treat people with respect. They have no idea about sex for work. In the past, producers have told me they wanted to be friends with me. I asked how we can be friends if we don’t work together. I feel the whole concept of asking for sex in exchange for work is the lowest of the low. I mean, you’d have to be a terribly insecure human being to do that. Some of these producers and creators were established names in the industry. It shows that you don’t have an iota of confidence that you can win a woman’s heart organically. But casting is not limited to Bollywood. It happens everywhere.” Also Read – Suhana Khan gets tips on how to handle paparazzi and fans; expect a surprise from The Archies star [Exclusive]

It is more talked about as it is a profession that is under the limelight. I feel that evil exists in every person, which is why some people feel they can humiliate others in this way. it has to address that devil that lives in your mind,” she says.
