Advising newcomers to safeguard themselves against casting couch, the 37-year-old said: It depends on you. Even if something like this (casting couch or exploitation) has happened to you, then don’t be harsh on yourselves.

“…No role and no film is the end of the world. It could be the beginning, but it is never the end,” Vidya said.
