'Sleep With Me...': When Niti Taylor Quit Films After Casting Couch Experience With South Director

Actor Niti Taylor, who has worked extensively in television, has done only three films, all of them in Telugu. She has now revealed that a director's casting couch proposition left her so badly shaken that she decided not to pursue films any further after that.

Niti Taylor Recalls Casting Couch Experience

The actor recalled that the director of her debut Telugu film called her about another project once the first one was done in a conversation with Hauterrfly.

Niti Taylor said, "The director who did the first film with me called me for another movie when we were done with it. Then he said, 'but you will have to sleep with me for it this time'."

The 31-year-old said she ended the call right away, blocked his number and phoned her mother. "You do not realise, you do not know how to react. I just cut the call, I blocked his number, I called up my mom, and I'm like, imagine that buddha, old man."

Niti, who has also been part of Alliance and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10, said the proposition caught her off guard. She struggled to process what had just happened.

She also hinted that she had seen him around other female actors. Even so, she never thought he would approach her in the same way.

"I saw him with other chicks and stuff like that. I never knew when he would try this with me. That's when I decided I would never do any movies ever again. I was just taken aback, and I only blocked him. I did not tell this to anyone because I was zapped. You just come like."
