"IF WOMEN ARE NOT WILLING TO SLEEP FOR WORK, THEN..."

Andrea is a person who speaks her mind. She was last seen in Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam 2. She is currently awaiting the release of her next film, Vada Chennai directed by Vetri Maaran, that has Dhanush and Aishwarya Rajesh playing crucial roles.

Known as a bold person, she exclusively spoke to Behindwoods about casting couch. 

"I've never experienced casting couch myself. If I date a guy, it is only because I like him and vice versa. I am an actor, and I know other actors who have never had a casting couch experience. It also depends on the vibe you give off to people. If somebody meets me, they will know that his girl means business. 

Casting couch is not just a man's fault. It is important to say this because we blame the other side always. If women are not willing to sleep for work, then they won't ask for it. A women should have the confidence and say "I believe myself and I won't sleep with anyone. then casting couch will not exist. If they don't have that confidence and compromise, men are also humans. And this makes it difficult for women who don't want to compromise. 

But take me for an example. I don't come from a film background. I don't have any producer's influence. I've made my mistakes. I worked my way up, and now I'm proud to say I'm doing films that other people are enviable of. I work with big directors. I work with good actors. I act in female centric films. 

And I do all this, without ever indulging in a casting couch experience. Because I believe in hardwork, talent and blessing. It is possible. It may take more time, but it's possible."
