Sach Ka Saamna and Casting Couch in Bollywood

Sach Ka Saamna season 1 ended with the final episode on TV celebrity and Bengali actress Rupa Ganguly revealing about casting couch in Bollywood and TV industry, among many other truths. She stated that she was propositioned for sexual favors by certain elements in the industry who would ask her for her rates. The worst insult she said was when she had received a call on her landline, which said that someone had paid Rs.50000 for a night with her. This was when Rupa had decided to leave Mumbai for good, and settle for Kolkata. This was in the 90s after Mahabharata serial made her famous . The bold and beautiful actress has admitted that casting couch in Bollywood is lesser in the present times, compared to old times.

Rupa Ganguly admitted her addiction to smoking and confessed on an extra marital affair too. She said that her husband Dhruba Mukherjee whom she had been in a marriage for 16 years was not able to cope up with her acting schedule and they would frequently have arguments.

Rupa Ganguly confessed that she was in love with her 31 year old boyfriend Diveyndu who stays with her. Though she said that she loved him as an answer to one of the final questions, the polygraph didn’t agree with her, which is why she lost the game. However Rupa Ganguly said that she will never be able to marry her boyfriend Diveyndu, because he was too young for her. Rupa said that the definition of ‘love’ for a woman in her 40s was different from the definition of ‘love’ for a woman who is 25. She guessed that this conflict in her mind, may have led to the disagreement with the polygraph
