I think it's that director guy Kashyap. I think he said something like yeah let's have a child and we will get married, but he didn't marry her and she aborted the child, from another interview of hers. It could also be Sajid Khan.
@@SandS72 its sajid who not only assaulted her but other too,he is known for that because in some recent interview she clears that it was never about kashyap instead she told that the last web series she worked was with kashyab for netflix i dont remember the name it cast fatima sana sheikh and anil kapoor and his osn
He did what she allowed to do. There are no free lunches. If you are ready to do certain things on camera you will be made to do the same things behind camera first otherwise why anyone would anyone invest.
Dying?? Bollywood is just getting its face unmasked bit by bit but the Current generation dsn giva dam about wats good or wats wrong. Dey are easy to be manipulated.....so bollywood is yet to even fall down than remotely dien 😁 the day our INDIAN cinema is not just seen as only bollywood but a cluster of so many other quality _____wood is the day we cud consider it dien....
Bollywood is trash. I stopped watching it back in 1994, after all the bomb blasts and underworld connections emerged. Some years later cricket got hit with bookie scandals and I stopped following that too. The entertainment industry is filled with people you don't want to know.
The sad part is that when women get sexually harassed instead to speaking out we blame and doubt ourselves but like the interviewer said we get shell shocked ( it’s true ) I’m glad you got out and I’m glad my mom never let me get in the industry I wouldn’t be where I am today ❤🙏🏽
"Entertainment industry is nothing but brothel of Uber rich people" This line don't know where I read it but this one line somesup every Entertainment industry not just Bollywood..
The law does not protect sexual harassment in India. Bollywood is high profile brothel for elites and politicians. So what protection girls will get. Even rape in Bollywood is common in a rape capital of world. So girls realise this !!!
Mandana Karimi inspired me to take life the way she did. She speaks so much sense. Sense. And Shivani is great too. Her questions were bang on- with sensitivity.
She is a really fantastic human being and I feel lucky enough she came to my house once and we met in my house party , it was just for few hours but you can feel how genuine this lady is , yes she is opinionated, but that’s because she is very learned and intelligent personality with lots of experiences from different parts of world , felt really sorry for what Anurag did to her , but that’s the reality of Bollywood and lucky being in Mumbai I am in construction industry and not anyway connected to film industry, thou I have many friends from who are connected to Bollywood who are really good, talented people, but coming back to Mandana , amazing and talented actor , wonderful human being and a noble soul ,wishing her all the best in life and whatever bad experiences you had , you still have friends in Mumbai whom you can count on and have faith and trust .
Mandana - total honesty, such a sweet heart, so smart and super confident... Good on you girl... India should be proud of you...Wish you all the best ...You will succeed where most other girls/women did not...
@@ibrahimnadeem1064 living in UK doesn't makes anyone accent British. Yes if you are born there and your fore fatehrs are living since generations then having accent is justifiable
She is clearly a very articulate and intelligent woman with humility unlike the arrogant Bollywood actors we are used to. Self made people are usually more mature and capable in handling the ups and downs of life. Hats off to her for taking a courageous stand and doing what she is comfortable with dignity instead of taking the easy way out.
She was my favourite contestant in BIGG BOSS . SHE was subjected to RACISM in BIGG BOSS many times by Others Contestant . She Came 2nd runner up . Just loved her courage and she always speaks her mind .
This is infuriating and sad at the same time that someone who actually scarred u for life is free and is making a big name for himself. But I wish her all the best ... More strength to you.
Kaunsa big name bana raha hai nithalla sajid khan? Mota hai aur full of disease uska body. Kya kya problem nahin hai, high BP, sugar, diabetes, heart attack, joints me dard, uska lund bhi kaat diya hai.
I totally understand the metaphor used by Mandana...bollywood is about i scratch your Back and u will scratch my Back.... Only a few strong women who refused to compromise, steps back and choose self respect. Now i Feel the reason katrina kaif being an outsider survived and found her way is because she had Salman to scratch her back.
Rubbish...if it was true then Jaqueline, Daisy, Zareen etc all would have gotten same kind of popularity too. They practically live at his farm house after all. Dont put Mandana, Nora and Sunny etc in same boat with Katrina Kaif because Katrina Kaif definitely has the 'IT' or X factor which they certainly dont. You can argue since she was the first one of her kind so yes she still holds that place. I think the reason Katrina Kaif is where she is at today and holds loyal stardom in entertainment world is because she in time got out of Salman Khan's clutches or Salman Khan's Girl Tag.
@@alirehman4858 katrina did not rely only on salman khan, she made her network with right people at right time. Did not involve with any sort of controversy. When she arrived in Bollywood, there was no one as much as beautiful as she was. She always maintained her clean image. Infact she is one of the very few intelligent actress in Bollywood. There isn't much actress in Bollywood who could match their level of intelligence with Katrina, she is basically beauty with brain.
@@nightmare_recaps5834 thats what I said also...the OP implied that she scratched Salman's back to be where she is at and others didnt because they refused to scratch his back?
@@nightmare_recaps5834Katrina has a dark past. Her mother and her sisters and katrina were associated with a cult named children of god where pedophilia and prostitution happens wherein these girls lure men and convert them to Christianity..All sorts of evil things happen in that cult..Katrina was a prostitute it is said. Also her sister is one which is a known fact. She has worked in porn movies. And katrina was clicked with a porn movie director too

How drugs and drug peddling is rampant, how casting couch is a major part of the industry, nepotism, manipulation, the list goes on..
Glad she exposed evil bollywood but she cannot project all of india as bad from just that experience. More women should come forward and expose the abuse of women in bollywood.

Thank you Mandanna.May you always be protected.You have matured and obviously have an inquiring bent. Thanks Shivani❤❤❤
Entertainment industry in every country is similar.Hollywood,korean ,bollywood are all same.If u are making a living selling ur looks, this is what u get.
Very similar struggles with so many girls and woman who are fighters and hustlers who doesn’t have a very affluent background. Specially vulnerable females are the targets of predators. But good to hear it and it’s comforting to know that amid chaos, women do survive and we are the survival of fittest. God bless you and all the women who are going through so much struggle but manage to keep up with life. So much respect for you 🙏
Help her with full support, make sure she go to the top. We need to be very careful dealing with girls. Reject all those who do not respect women, do not give them any business who are involved in any kind of harassment
In this interview which must have been taken before the 19th May, she says she is turning 36 soon. Wikipedia states her birth year as 1988 - it must actually be 1987. Ileana D’Cruz birth year is also pushed forward a year in Wiki. Wikipedia needs to fact check what they write.

@@believer-fcaeth dear this is good. But i dont have thé right to interfere in people life .this is something personal and it is about convinctions. So i cant do anything sorry.
Hi, I have been following your videos since some time, good job Shivani. Can you add timelines to your videos? It would be better to watch it then. Cheers!
This is a brave, courageous woman with fire in her belly, and yet she was helpless against harassment. The world is controlled by men, and most women understand this.
She is not updated with the current reality that Bollywwod no longer exists in india.😃 It is part of a once dangerous antisocial history now fully finished 🙂
Entertainment industries everywhere are super closed to the outside world, you don't understand what happens inside unless someone speaks up. The fact that Sajid Khan was never investigated or punished despite multiple allegations shows the kind of power some people in the industry hold. Nepo kids are able to thrive because they can never really be exploited because of their background, the reason most of the actors you see have a connection to the industry is some form. Glad she has been able to move onto better things.
shivani i would like to suggest that could you and the guest be seated on different couches facing opposite to each other rather than this position - this kinda seating makes you look uncomfortable as you are sitting stratight but looking sideways to the guest.
Mandana..right age and right experience: To tell the Muslim women about the difference between life with medieval restrictions and normal life with only personal restrictions! And also to give counselling/guidance to aspiring unanchored girls daring to venture into film industry! Happy take off!
Sadly if you don’t belong to a rich family full of actors you won’t survive it is a industry full of ugly ass nepotism kids that gets so much surgery done and they still don’t look normal look at Jhanvi. Varun so Alia sonam Arjun all zero talent and looks. Some of them got better but they were given so many opportunities to get better like Alia. What about those that get zero opportunities we need to stop and boycott Bollywood
It was a powefull interview......Shivani your accent and your set of questions were on point........&..............Mandana really insperational experinces your shared. I learned so thanks.
Part of the problem is that people assume that the entertainment industry (whether Hollywood or Bollywood) is a all glitz and glamour. They don't bother to research or read up on the darker, seedier underbelly of the entertainment industry before joining it. This may sound judgmental but actresses often times get roles in which they are merely decoration pieces that are portrayed in a sexualized/objectified way and even in Bollywood (item numbers/dances, etc, etc). So the women who have a .......conscience.....you cannot be so naive into thinking that you are playing a role in....your own....objectification by joining the film industry. You killed a part of your shame and your conscience by making that decision. And then the predators and the wolves of the industry unfortunately will pounce on that and take advantage. It's better to pursue another field....one in which others do not objectify you as a woman an in which you don't play an active role in objectifying yourself.
I was for a small moment in the type of modeling she was doing in the early 2000s….when they are sending you from bong king to Europe for modeling” …it is not modeling”…it is escorting
madana is so open and honest, but the interviewer seems off, like as if she has no clue about what's goes on in bollywood or the dark side of it lol, keeps asking what do you mean by that even tho she explains well what she means, your indian but don't act like Bollywood or india is perfect lol
I have watched her in big boss and lockup. She’s a pseudo feminist and very clever. Uses woman card. Got bashed in lock up for it and she was embarrassed because she knew she made no sense. First u come here to earn money and then bash india. It’s our fault who watch and give importance to people like you, Nora fatehi, Jaqueline etc
Very true. She always uses woman card. She was put in place by Kangana and Karan Kundra in lock up. In big boss also she hit a guy and when he hit her back she made an issue out of it and abused him
She did not malign India. Exposing the dark side of Bollywood shouldn't disturb you. Bollywood is a fake world of glamour. It is not India. Nor India is Bollywood.
small feedback to the host: Instead of asking quick questions like 41:22 "Why did u leave?", kindly rephrase it in this way "so you left Malaysia after Dubai, what made you make that decision" | 23:27 "What do you mean by that?", rephrase it to this "to work in Bollywood u need a famous father or friend, have you heard that from lot of people? " 🙂
Great that you spoke up! The regret of shutting up is worse then any financial or social lose! I feel bad for all that women have to go through in certain societies and you feel worse as a part of those societies
Fun fact- India has a fairly large Parsi community in the north so for those Iranians that settle in India should really connect with the Parsi community to ease into the lifestyle changes.
You need some history lessons on Parasi community (Zorastrians) and Iran (Persia) and how the Parasies had to run away from Iran. Their cultures are poles apart. The current Iranian and Parasi people living in India have nothing in common.
The reason why the film Industry is a swamp of casting couch is because millions dream of becoming an actor/actress as the money, travel and fame that comes is limitless and the only question that a powerful person who can make that happen asks is Why you?? out of a million!! Hence, the favours, which is an unfortunate reality as finding a powerful virtuous man in this industry is very difficult. This power in the hands of a few producers, directors and actors who can make and break someone's career is the actual problem. The industry seriously needs to be overtaken by a government body and then actors should be chosen based on merit! Also to mention the rules and regulations that come with it.🙏
“❤Bhaag Johnny Bhaag❤” is one of my favourite movie, story was fictional but the movie show how inner voice can change your life in critical condition when we have 2 choices “ what to choose when you have 2 ways in life “🙌🙌U turn from Bollywood bold decision 👍you can do much better in home country Iran or in any field there so many things to do best wishes 💐💐💐👍
24:40 Feels unreal even when it is happening, because why do they think they can get away with it? I am glad these women are strong enough to talk about it at whatever level they are able to. I think shaming the predators is the only way to tame those impulses from the powerful and reclaim / create safe space for professional conduct within any industry.
Its the best podcast to reveal some true incidents and make other girls aware of how sometimes you meet aweful ppl in the industry !! Girls should be warned to protect themselves . Thank you for your podcast . Lets all help women ❤❤❤

"Do not marry polytheist (mushrik) women until they believe; for a believing slave-woman is better than a free polytheist (mushrik), even though she may look pleasant to you.
And do not marry your women to polytheist (mushrik) men until they believe; for a believing slave-man is better than a free polytheist (mushrik), even though he may look pleasant to you. They invite you to the fire while Allah invites you to paradise and forgiveness by his grace. He makes his revelations clear to the people so perhaps they will be mindful." (Al-baqarah 2:221)
Please share this verse with every muslim girl in your contact list so as to save their EMAAN and emaan of their coming generations just for the sake of Allah 🙏
@@believer-fcaeth dear this is good. But i dont have thé right to interfere in people life .this is something personal and it is about convinctions. So i cant do anything sorry.
Welcome to India wish you the very best and great success
Hi, I have been following your videos since some time, good job Shivani. Can you add timelines to your videos? It would be better to watch it then. Cheers!
Mandana is extremely inspiring! 💗⭐️
That why kangana was right 💯....and everyone said she is talking so much .. people should open their eye
Kangana is fake woman. She only speaks against people who don't promote her films but is close friends with problematic people like Salman Khan.
This is a brave, courageous woman with fire in her belly, and yet she was helpless against harassment. The world is controlled by men, and most women understand this.
She's superb now I realized why I supported her in BB... In my school day's
Just saw your talk with mandana it was good n shivani your beautiful love the way you speak ❤
Iranians are very modern when they live outside
Omg 😢😢😢 she went through so much, but I'm proud of her as an iranian girl❤❤❤
Truth or not - this is her experience & perspective of the Bollywood industry. Every one has different experiences
Brave and inspiring women!! Kudos you both on such a refreshingly honest and beautiful interview.
She’s so inspiring!! Omg i love her!!! I feel so proud of her although I did not even know much about her ever before!
She is not updated with the current reality that Bollywwod no longer exists in india.😃
It is part of a once dangerous antisocial history now fully finished 🙂
Braveheart 👏👏
Wow, another level 👏🏼 🎉 keep going further. You have such honesty, integrity and intelligence
Very beautiful country and beautiful people Iran.i had been to Iran it's an Awesome country but very strict
It’s ugly bullshit country that does genocide if you’re not a Hindu
Entertainment industries everywhere are super closed to the outside world, you don't understand what happens inside unless someone speaks up.
The fact that Sajid Khan was never investigated or punished despite multiple allegations shows the kind of power some people in the industry hold.
Nepo kids are able to thrive because they can never really be exploited because of their background, the reason most of the actors you see have a connection to the industry is some form.
Glad she has been able to move onto better things.
shivani i would like to suggest that could you and the guest be seated on different couches facing opposite to each other rather than this position - this kinda seating makes you look uncomfortable as you are sitting stratight but looking sideways to the guest.
Ah yes I have changed it now I’m the UK but unfortunately that was the setup in my Mumbai series 🙏🏽
Its the same with every film industry not just bollywood women are exploited
I remember she was the only one who supported Iran protests.
None from Bollywood not even whispered solidarity with her!
Mandana..right age and right experience:
To tell the Muslim women about the difference between life with medieval restrictions and normal life with only personal restrictions!
And also to give counselling/guidance to aspiring unanchored girls daring to venture into film industry!
Happy take off!
Medieval restrictions?? Your opinion.. If Islam is so oppressive, then why are so many women in the west coming to Islam??
she got completely the indian accent.
Wow...Mandana isan inspiration to all women in the world, wanting to live life on own terms ❤❤❤😊
She is so interesting to listen to
You did right sister. Because think about Sushant Singh Rajput and their are so many.........
Sadly if you don’t belong to a rich family full of actors you won’t survive it is a industry full of ugly ass nepotism kids that gets so much surgery done and they still don’t look normal look at Jhanvi. Varun so Alia sonam Arjun all zero talent and looks. Some of them got better but they were given so many opportunities to get better like Alia. What about those that get zero opportunities we need to stop and boycott Bollywood
It was a powefull interview......Shivani your accent and your set of questions were on point........&..............Mandana really insperational experinces your shared. I learned so thanks.
Mandana you are so inspiring!
Part of the problem is that people assume that the entertainment industry (whether Hollywood or Bollywood) is a all glitz and glamour. They don't bother to research or read up on the darker, seedier underbelly of the entertainment industry before joining it. This may sound judgmental but actresses often times get roles in which they are merely decoration pieces that are portrayed in a sexualized/objectified way and even in Bollywood (item numbers/dances, etc, etc). So the women who have a .......conscience.....you cannot be so naive into thinking that you are playing a role in....your own....objectification by joining the film industry. You killed a part of your shame and your conscience by making that decision. And then the predators and the wolves of the industry unfortunately will pounce on that and take advantage. It's better to pursue another field....one in which others do not objectify you as a woman an in which you don't play an active role in objectifying yourself.
I was for a small moment in the type of modeling she was doing in the early 2000s….when they are sending you from bong king to Europe for modeling” …it is not modeling”…it is escorting
Really
Very courageous girl! Lots of respect and best wishes!!
I was her biggest fan in Bigg Boss ! ❤
madana is so open and honest, but the interviewer seems off, like as if she has no clue about what's goes on in bollywood or the dark side of it lol, keeps asking what do you mean by that even tho she explains well what she means, your indian but don't act like Bollywood or india is perfect lol
It’s called interview tactic. She is just acting. I am sure she knows and that’s why she has invited madana for interview.
@@bumblebee2422trying to revive her career . Why do these stories seem so familiar 😂
Nah...infact I liked that she asked those pointed questions and got the nitty gritty juicy details! Thats a good interviewer!
Hats off to you Mandana! You are bold, brave and beautiful. I wish you all the success in the world and good health. 🎉🎉❤
Congratulations on a fantastic interview. Really an eye opener for all
Well done, mandana. You are a brave soul.❤
She has an elegant appearance 😌
I really Appreciate the way you listen Shivani. You are very good listener ❤. Love this podcast today. N she is soo humble lady ❤
Don't you think she has a fake accent
I have watched her in big boss and lockup. She’s a pseudo feminist and very clever. Uses woman card. Got bashed in lock up for it and she was embarrassed because she knew she made no sense. First u come here to earn money and then bash india. It’s our fault who watch and give importance to people like you, Nora fatehi, Jaqueline etc
Very true. She always uses woman card. She was put in place by Kangana and Karan Kundra in lock up. In big boss also she hit a guy and when he hit her back she made an issue out of it and abused him
She did not malign India. Exposing the dark side of Bollywood shouldn't disturb you. Bollywood is a fake world of glamour. It is not India. Nor India is Bollywood.
U indian worship white skin 😂😂
More Courage ....to you girl.🙏🏻
small feedback to the host: Instead of asking quick questions like 41:22 "Why did u leave?", kindly rephrase it in this way "so you left Malaysia after Dubai, what made you make that decision" | 23:27 "What do you mean by that?", rephrase it to this "to work in Bollywood u need a famous father or friend, have you heard that from lot of people? " 🙂
Thank you!! Will definitely take this on board! Very helpful 🫶🏽
Fire in the belly is reason why she learned quickly
Great that you spoke up! The regret of shutting up is worse then any financial or social lose!
I feel bad for all that women have to go through in certain societies and you feel worse as a part of those societies
She is so pretty!💗💗
Fun fact- India has a fairly large Parsi community in the north so for those Iranians that settle in India should really connect with the Parsi community to ease into the lifestyle changes.
You need some history lessons on Parasi community (Zorastrians) and Iran (Persia) and how the Parasies had to run away from Iran. Their cultures are poles apart. The current Iranian and Parasi people living in India have nothing in common.
Her features are like Nargis Fakhri. Very beautiful
It was a good interview very interesting experience and perspective also glad she didn't give up and showed courage!
Hats off to you❤❤🥰🥰
Thank You So Much I got New RUclips Podcast Channel to Learn More Knowledge.
The reason why the film Industry is a swamp of casting couch is because millions dream of becoming an actor/actress as the money, travel and fame that comes is limitless and the only question that a powerful person who can make that happen asks is
Why you?? out of a million!! Hence, the favours, which is an unfortunate reality as finding a powerful virtuous man in this industry is very difficult.
This power in the hands of a few producers, directors and actors who can make and break someone's career is the actual problem. The industry seriously needs to be overtaken by a government body and then actors should be chosen based on merit! Also to mention the rules and regulations that come with it.🙏
“❤Bhaag Johnny Bhaag❤” is one of my favourite movie, story was fictional but the movie show how inner voice can change your life in critical condition when we have 2 choices “ what to choose when you have 2 ways in life “🙌🙌U turn from Bollywood bold decision 👍you can do much better in home country Iran or in any field there so many things to do best wishes 💐💐💐👍
Respect your courage,, hats off..
24:40 Feels unreal even when it is happening, because why do they think they can get away with it? I am glad these women are strong enough to talk about it at whatever level they are able to. I think shaming the predators is the only way to tame those impulses from the powerful and reclaim / create safe space for professional conduct within any industry.
Its the best podcast to reveal some true incidents and make other girls aware of how sometimes you meet aweful ppl in the industry !! Girls should be warned to protect themselves . Thank you for your podcast . Lets all help women ❤❤❤
She’s talking about Sajid Khan.
Very good lady, enjoyed her interview
please use and do interview in Hindi also it will reach to lot of Indians and this is very important video to lot of indian actors.
