Diksha Pant Breaks Silence On Casting Couch Issue

Actress Diksha Pant has stepped into the headlines again, not for a new film, but for her sharp words. Known for films like Varudu, Raccha, Soggade Chinni Nayana and Ego, she was once a familiar face in Tollywood.

After her stint in Bigg Boss Telugu Season 1, she disappeared from movies for nearly eight years. In a recent chat, she spoke openly about her journey and the casting couch.

Diksha said she never adjusted to the ways of the industry. She explained that when she rejected advances during her early auditions, opportunities closed instantly. “If both people agree, why should outsiders complain? Personally, I never said yes. That cost me work. Maybe that’s why I couldn’t grow much as an actress,” she said.

Her words quickly spread online. Some called her honest, others felt she sounded casual about a serious issue. Whatever the reactions, her blunt take reignited the long-running casting couch debate in Tollywood.

Diksha is now more focused on modeling, but with this interview, she has once again drawn attention, this time not with glamour, but with a statement that refuses to hide behind safe answers.
