Shatrughan Sinha comments on Casting Couch

New Delhi, April 26: After choreographer Saroj Khan and senior Congress leader Renuka Chowdhary, actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha on Thursday commneted on casting couch issue.

While speaking with the media persons he said that, sexual favours were demanded and given in both the entertainment and political world.

"Neither Saroj Khan nor Renuka Chowdhary is wrong. Sexual favours are demanded and given in both the entertainment world and in politics. It’s an old and time-tested way of getting ahead in life. ‘You please me I'll please you'," he said.

Sinha further said such things have been happening "since time immemorial" and there was nothing to get upset about it. Defending Khan, he said: "Saroj Khan's contribution to choreography and to shaping the careers of Rekha, Madhuri Dixit and the late much-missed Sridevi, was invaluable. Saroj Khan is a legend in her own right. She often speaks from her heart and lets emotional correctness rule over political correctness. If she said that girls have to compromise sexually in Bollywood, she must be aware of what goes on."
