Actress Payal Ghosh, a prominent face in the Hindi and Telugu film industry, is known for her outspoken nature.
Recently, she made an announcement about her 11th movie, which led to a stir when she shared a cryptic post on social media.
In the post, she claimed that "you need to sleep" in order to secure more movie roles. This statement left her fans concerned, prompting them to request her to share her experiences.
To further fuel the discussion, Payal Ghosh recently posted a photo on Instagram with the caption, "With the Fire Of Love: Red, I will be completing my 11th movie. Agar main soti toh aaj main 30th film complete kar leti (If I was sleeping with someone, it would have been my 30th movie)." It is important to note that Payal Ghosh previously accused Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap of sexual harassment, alleging that he had "tried to force himself on her."
This post has reignited the debate surrounding the casting couch phenomenon in the industry.

Bina soye possible hi nahi hai (Without sleeping with someone, it is not possible)," has drawn attention to the challenges faced by aspiring actors and actresses in the industry and highlights the importance of a safe working environment.
While some criticized her statement, others expressed their support for her candidness and speaking her mind.
Payal Ghosh has appeared in notable films such as "Oosaravelli," alongside Tamannaah Bhatia and Junior NTR, as well as "Prayanam," featuring Manchu Manoj and Brahmanandar.
