Apparently, Saroj Khan was asked about ongoing Telugu actress Sri Reddy’s casting couch case, to which Saroj Khan said that it has been going on for many years. Saroj Khan can be seen saying in the video that it has been happening for many years in the industry. Everyone tries to take an advantage of a girl. It’s up to that particular girl on what to do in that situation. If she has art and talent then why would you sell yourself?

“This has been happening since time immemorial. Anyone and everyone tries to get cozy with every girl. Even people in the government do it. Why are you after the film industry? At least the industry provides employment. It is not as if you are raped and abandoned. (Yeh chala aa raha hai baba aadam ke zamaane se. Har ladki ke upar koi na koi haath saaf karne ki koshish karta hai. Government ke log bhi karte hain. Tum film industry ke peeche kyun pade ho? Woh kam se kam roti toh deti hai. Rape karke chhod toh nahi deti),” Khan is heard as saying in the video.

“It’s upon the girl – what does she want to do? If you don’t want to be caught, you won’t. When you are an artiste, why will you sell yourself? Don’t say anything about the film industry. It’s like our mother-father. (Yeh ladki ke upar hai ki tum kya karna chahti ho. Tum uske haath mein nahi aana chahti ho toh nahi aaogi. Tumhare paas art hai toh tum kyun bechoge apne aap ko? Film industry ko kuch mat kehna, woh humaara mai-baap hai),” she said.

Sri Reddy did a stripping act in Film Nagar, where the artist removed her clothes, gathering a huge crowd. Following this, Banjara Hills police reached the spot and urged the artist to file a formal complaint, to which Reddy refused and continued her protest. The controversial artist was in news earlier for alleging sexual exploitation in Tollywood and having controversial arguments on TV debates about “whores” and “brokers” in the film industry.

Well, amid all, this reaction from Saroj Khan may raise many questions in people’s mind. Let’s see how Sri Reddy and people would react to it.
