Sunny Leone’s entry here, while unethical, is not even a shock. Not because we think she deserved it, nobody does, but our culture is so narrow-minded because we believe she would be open to these ideas only because she has worked in the p**n industry. She declined the offer to sleep with the producer though.
Casting couch has always been a part of the film industry and even today it is very prevalent!
