Recently, a doctor was raped and killed in the RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata, and there has been an uproar all over India. Since that incident, many actresses have come forward about being sexually harassed at various points in their careers.

Actress Asha Negi of Anurag Basu's 'Ludo' portrayed the darkness of sexual harassment. In a recent interview, the actress revealed how a small screen shooting coordinator offered to be her bed partner in exchange for work.

The actress said, it was a long time ago. I was only 22 years old then. I have a new foot in the industry. At that time there were coordinators of small screen serials. One such person directly offered me to be his bedmate. Said that this is how things work in the world of small screen. I also have to take this route to get a job. And if I don't do that, I will never see success. All the big stars of the small screen have done this.

I said loudly, 'I don't want to succeed in my career like this.' But no matter how tough I was on the outside, I was broken inside.

Later I told a friend about this incident. After hearing everything, he said in a dispassionate voice - 'So? That's what happens here. These are very common things.'
