Mumbai: Recounting her own experience of facing casting couch, actress Surveen Chawla said once she was once asked by directors to show them cleavage and thighs.

In an interview with PinkVilla, Surveen said, "A director wanted to see how my cleavage looked. Another director wanted to see how my thighs looked."

"I went to give this audition and the person told me, 'You are overweight'. I was just 56 kilos and I thought the person needed glasses," she added.

She also took part in critically-acclaimed films like Ugly and Parched.
