Chahatt who is coming back to Bollywood after a long time with Sanjay Dutt's Prassthanam in an interview with spotboyE revealed that she never pursued a career in Bollywood for  a long time because of casting couch that exists even today. “Casting directors were also in it. Who will admit it? Nobody. Casting couch existed on a very large scale,” stated the actress

When questioned why didn't she open up on it during the #MeToo movement, Chahatt went on to reveal, “Some of them also took cheques and kept quiet. Aur jinka publicity stunt tha, woh kaam kar gaya. This was a phase. It was like a fashion trend. Whosoever encashed, encashed. Whosoever didn’t, didn’t,” she said.

 

She added, “I know many actresses who chose to not speak. But let me tell you that there were quite a few actors whose names should have surfaced but did not. Agar suffering hoti hai, then why wait for a platform like Me Too?”

Chahatt, who divorced Farhan Mirza,  in 2018, accusing her husband of sexual and mental set her failed marriage as an example.

 

"Like I wanted to separate in marriage and I did. I didn't wait for a #MeTooDivorced campaign/platform to arise where I would land and say, "MeTooDivorced"." said the actress.
