Actress Payal Ghosh, who has mainly worked in Hindi and Telugu film industries, is making headlines once again. She recently posted a cryptic message on her official Twitter handle that has shocked the netizens. She wrote, “Thank God, I got launched in the South Film Industry; if I had gotten launched in Bollywood, they would have removed my clothes to present me, because they use female bodies more than their creativity.”
Just a few days ago, Payal shared a post on Instagram that raised eyebrows in the industry. In the post, she wrote, “With the Fire of Love: Red, I will be completing my 11th movie. Agar main soti toh aaj main 30th film complete kar leti (If I was sleeping with someone, it would have been my 30th movie).” It’s important to remember that Payal had previously accused director Anurag Kashyap of sexual harassment, claiming that he had “tried to force himself on her.”
This post reignited discussions about the existence of casting couch in the film industry. She boldly captioned the post, “You need to sleep to get big movies. Bina soye possible hi nahi hai (without sleeping with someone, it is not possible).”
While her statement has received its share of criticism, it has also found support from those who admire her for speaking candidly about the challenges faced by aspiring actors and actresses in the industry. The conversation has underscored the importance of creating a safe working environment for all.
Turning to her professional endeavors, Payal Ghosh has appeared in popular movies such as “Prayanam,” “Oosaravelli,” “Therodum Veedhiyile,” and “Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi.” Her upcoming project, “Fire of Love: Red,” is generating anticipation. It is a thriller film written and directed by Ashok Tyagi, featuring Krushna Abhishek and Payal Ghosh in lead roles.
“Fire of Love: Red” is scheduled to hit theaters on October 27.
