The Story in Brief
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 actress Kamalika Guha Thakurta told Times Now that the casting couch exists in the industry but no one can force anyone to participate. She said every individual has a choice, and if you choose to do it, you should not complain. She also criticised the trend of casting based on social media followers, saying she focuses on her craft. On Smriti Irani, who plays the lead in the reboot, Kamalika said the politician does not bring her political personality on set. She also revealed she has founded an NGO for mental health awareness.

Kamalika Guha Thakurta's candid admission that the casting couch exists is refreshing, but her emphasis on individual choice ignores the power imbalance faced by struggling actors. Many newcomers may not have the luxury to say no without risking their careers. The industry needs more than personal anecdotes; it needs a formal mechanism to report and prevent exploitation. The real test will be whether other actors, especially those with less privilege, feel safe enough to speak out or if Kamalika's statement remains an isolated voice.
