Niti Taylor's Shocking Casting Couch Ordeal
13 Oct
Summary
- Director demanded intimacy for a film role.
- Actress immediately refused and blocked the director.
- Experience deterred her from South Indian films.

Niti Taylor, a prominent figure in Hindi television since 2009, has spoken out about a distressing casting couch encounter. While discussing her career, which includes hits like 'Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan' and 'Ishqbaaz,' Taylor revealed that a director once demanded intimacy in exchange for a film role. The actress was taken aback by the proposition. She promptly ended the call, deleted the director's contact information, and blocked him. This director reportedly held a senior position and had allegedly behaved inappropriately with other female actors.
This harrowing experience was a primary reason Niti Taylor decided to stay away from the South Indian film industry for many years. Despite her successful career, she has navigated common industry challenges like rejections and shelved projects. Taylor, who is a 'blue baby' survivor, believes in overcoming any odds. Married to army officer Parikshit Bawa in 2020, she noted that her career has flourished post-marriage, with her husband being a strong supporter. However, she has decided against performing intimate scenes in her projects.
