Niti Taylor's Harrowing Casting Couch Encounter
14 Oct
Summary
- Actress Niti Taylor faced a disturbing casting couch offer early in her career.
- A Telugu film director demanded sexual favors for a role.
- The incident led Taylor to abandon pursuing film opportunities.
Actress Niti Taylor, known for her television roles, has revealed a distressing casting couch incident from her early days in Telugu cinema.
While discussing her career, Taylor shared how the director of her 2012 debut film, Mem Vayasuku Vacham, approached her for a subsequent project. This professional outreach quickly devolved into an inappropriate proposition when the director explicitly stated she would have to 'sleep with him for it this time.'
Taylor described her shock and inability to react immediately to the offensive demand. The incident was so traumatizing that she decided to cease all film aspirations. She blocked the director's number and confided in her mother about the upsetting experience.
Following this encounter, Taylor starred in two more Telugu films, Pelli Pustakam (2013) and Love Dot Com (2014), but has since focused her career on television, consciously steering clear of the film industry.
