Mumbai: One of most controversial Bollywood actress Rakhi Sawant has become the face of Beboy Condoms. The actress, who is mostly surrounded by controversies, says the country needs more condom ads and promotions, and endorsing the brand is like engaging in a social activity.
“I feel great becoming the face of Beboy Condoms. I feel we need more condom advertisements and promotions. It will help to reduce the number of victims of sexual diseases. I don’t know how people are going to judge me but for me, it’s no less than any social activity,” Rakhi said in a statement.
Protection, she says, is important but so is pleasure.
“Luckily, condoms offer both. They come in lots of different styles, shapes and textures. I feel we need to understand that the topic of sex is not embarrassing but really helpful in preventing rape cases and all,” she said.
Never one to shy away from calling a spade a shovel, Rakhi Sawant now has a rather startling opinion on the ongoing debate on casting couch and sexual harassment of strugglers in the film industry.
Rakhi Sawant says girls willing to make any compromise these days!:
Rakhi admits to being a victim.
“When I was a struggler, yes I did face the casting couch. But it wasn’t as if every producer or director I approached was guilty. As in every walk of life, there is sexual corruption in the film industry also. As far as I was concerned, this was just in the beginning. But I had talent and I didn’t have to give in. I learnt to say no. And I used my talent as an artiste to make my way through life. I suggest all strugglers to have patience and not surrender to the temptation of shortcuts,” she said.
Rakhi completely supports Saroj Khan in the opinion that there is no coercion involved when sexual favours are exchanged.
“Nobody rapes anyone in this film industry. It’s all consensual and voluntary. In this, I fully support Sarojji. At least she has spoken her mind and let the world know the truth. People in Bollywood don’t speak out the truth about the casting couch although it is happening right here in front of their eyes. They feel they are making their way up why should they bother with what’s happening around them? I really admire Sarojji for letting the world know the reality that they have to face every day. Sarojji has seen what goes here. I totally agree with her.”
The shocker from Rakhi is the revelation on how rampant sexual favours are in the film industry.
“Young girls are willing to make any compromise to get going in their career. Aaj kal to ladkiyan kehti hain, Kuch bhi kar lo, mujhe kaam de do’. Iss mein producer ki kya ghalti hai? (Girls, these days, are ready to do anything to get work. Why to blame producers for this?) Sarojji is not wrong. A lot of girls come in the film industry to become heroines but become something else… you understand what I am saying? Call it destiny or what you will.”
