Since the #MeToo movement gained traction, actors frequently discuss their casting couch experiences. The most recent actress to indicate that producers expected "something" from her in exchange for the opportunity was Shama Sikander. "The industry has undergone significant, positive development. Young producers nowadays handle people with respect and are far more professional. They do not believe in having sex at work.

Producers have previously expressed a desire to be friends with me. How can we be friends if we don't collaborate on projects, I thought. The idea of demanding sex in exchange for labour, in my opinion, is abhorrent. Shama added that casting couches are commonplace throughout society and not only in the film business.
