She explained in a recent interview on how she faced casting couch incidents and how a producer openly used words like ‘compromise’ and ‘one night’, with her. She said, “I knew that I couldn’t let this slip so I gave it back to him, I asked him, ‘So if you want me to sleep with you, who are you making the hero sleep with?’ He was stunned. Right after the meeting, I informed the others of his behavior and they asked him to leave the project.”

“All it took was one minute of being fearless – that day, I didn’t just stand up for me… I stood up for every woman out there who has been objectified and judged for simply being who she is; for simply being ambitious,” Marathe added. It was inspiring to see Shruti Marathe handle such incidents with courage and even netizens are saluting her after hearing out her story.
