In a recent interview with ETimes, Charu Asopa opened up on her struggles, when she stepped into Mumbai with dreams of becoming an actress. She revealed that she was joined by her full family when she came from Bikaner. She also mentioned how she was frequently joined by her mother for auditions, since everyone was apprehensive about the industry. In her words:
“When I had left Bikaner, I only had dreams in my eyes. When I first came to Mumbai, my entire family came with me. I got a house on rent and after I settled, my father and brother left. My mother stayed back and would accompany me to the auditions and meetings. We had heard so much about the industry that she didn’t want to leave me alone.”

Moving further in the interview, Charu recalled that one moment when she faced a horrible incident of casting couch. She was barely 20-21 years old at that time, and revealed meeting a producer from a big production house. She revealed that the person told her to compromise with a few known people, to which she straight up refused to do. In her words:
“I went for a movie meeting during that phase and met a producer from a very well-known production house. The casting director kept the contract in front of me, I had a pen in my hand, and I could have signed the contract and bagged the opportunity. Par jo baat kahi casting director ne uske baad mujhe 3 din tak bukhar nahi uttra. He asked me to compromise with a few people he knew. I turned it down straight.”
