Recently, a noted TV channel came up with a sting operation in Bangalore and much to the surprise of the media crew, they discovered the presence of prostitution in the cine circuit. The key point to note is, a noted heroine who is part of the industry since long and has acted in quite a number of films was ready for the ‘act’. Her price for that was a whopping Rs 2 lakhs for two hours.
All this was coordinated through a pimp who is also part of the movie industry. In the first case, the heroine was nervous and she backed off as soon as she realized that the client was a local. However, in the second case, another heroine arrived and she was quoting a whopping Rs 5 lakhs for two hours with a scope to negotiate. She was introduced through another pimp who is also part of the film industry.
While the names cannot be revealed for obvious reasons, this is just to show how because of few individuals, the entire cinema circuit gets a black mark.
