Actor Aanchal Khurana has raised concerns over the entertainment industry's casting couch and exploitation practices after Sanchita Ugale's alleged suicide.
In a video shared on Instagram, Aanchal spoke about the pressure actors face and the emotional toll it takes on them.
She highlighted the cycle of hope and rejection that many actors go through, mentioning that even talented actors may be rejected over small financial reasons or for refusing to compromise.
Aanchal urged people to prioritize themselves during difficult times and stay close to their family.
Sanchita Ugale allegedly died by suicide at her home in Nallasopara, and the police have registered an accidental death report.
The All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has demanded a high-level investigation into her alleged suicide.
