Abhay Verma Opens about a Casting Couch Incident: Know More

Bollywood actor Abhay Verma rose to fame with his horror comedy film ‘Munjya’. But like many other new comers in the film industry, Abhay has also faced the issue of casting couch in the early days of his career.

Recently, in conversation with a media portal, Abhay Verma talked about how he never said no in the early days, “I have never gotten to the point where I have said no. Actually, it did happen once so my first-ever meeting in Bombay was not the ideal meeting. People do want different things in life.”

Abhay Verma also opened up on a casting couch incident he faced, “I was too naive to ever register that at that point. It happened once and later on I said, 'Why would I give my remote to my TV to everyone to play and change the channel'. That is my life and that is my goal. I went to Panipat, and I crushed my dreams like this cannot let this happen.”

He also talked about how he refused to compromise his values and even went to his home town in Panipat, Haryana, but then he returned as a changed person. Abhay said, “Then I came back with that power like a changed person and I was like, 'Ye meri journey hai aur kisi aur ka haq nahi hai aapko apki journey batane ka.”

Abhay Verma appeared in various advertisements and the popular show ‘The Family Man’, but he gained success and popularity through the film ‘Munjya’, starring alongside Sharvari Wagh and Mona Singh. The film was a box office hit with a collection of Rs. 132 crores worldwide. Abhay Verma is also reported to appear next in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘King’.
