Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 winner, Manisha Rani, recently revealed a harrowing incident involving casting couch during an in-depth interview, shedding light on the darker aspects of the entertainment industry. Recounting the distressing encounter, Manisha shared details of an interaction with an individual who purported to be closely associated with the esteemed reality show, Bigg Boss.

In her conversation with Galatta India, Manisha recounted the unsettling experience, stating, "Hum ek baar Bihar mein the toh us time, specially jab hum ghar gaye the 4-5 din k liye, lekin wo humko uss time phone kiya ki tumko Colors pe nahi jaana, tumko Bigg Boss nahi karna, ghar jaa ke baith gayi, tum abhi aa jao Mumbai." ("Once, while we were in Bihar, especially during the time we visited home for 4-5 days, he called and said, 'You won't go to Colors, you won't do Bigg Boss, you've gone home, come back to Mumbai immediately.'") She further elaborated on how the individual assured her of an imminent entry into the reality show, emphasizing the lengths she went to, stating, "Uske liye hum specially ticket kar ke Mumbai aaye ki mera toh Bigg Boss hone wala hai." ("For that, I specially bought a ticket and came to Mumbai, believing that I was going to be on Bigg Boss.")

However, the situation took a disturbing turn when the individual extended an invitation for Manisha to visit his residence at an ungodly hour, to which she firmly declined, stating, "Ek baar 3 baje raat ko phone karke bolta hai ki aa jao mere ghar. Toh hum bole ki hum ghar toh nahi aayenge." ("Once, he called at 3 in the morning and said, 'Come to my house.' So, I told him that I won't come to his house.") Subsequently, Manisha expressed her shock and dismay at the individual's aggressive response to her refusal, revealing, "Lastly, humko yahi samajh aaya hai ki koi kisi ka help nahi karta hai. Agar aap mein talent hai toh, ho hi jaata hai." ("Lastly, I understood that no one helps anyone. If you have talent, you'll make it anyway.")
