Actress Recalls 'Indecent Proposal' from Filmmaker

Actress Madalsa Sharma, known for her role in 'Anupamaa', has recounted an uncomfortable incident from her early career. At approximately 19 years old, Sharma was called for a meeting with a filmmaker who reportedly requested to see her in a bikini to assess her comfort level and body language. Sharma clarified that while she was prepared to wear a bikini for a required on-screen scene as part of her profession, she refused to do so in a private setting for the director's personal judgment.

Sharma asserted her professional boundaries, telling the filmmaker that if he intended to cast her based on talent, he could, but private evaluations were not part of her job. The actress, who is married to Mimoh Chakraborty, son of Mithun Chakraborty, began her acting career in 2009 with the Telugu film 'Fitting Master'. She has since contributed to films in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Punjabi, and Hindi cinema.
