Dear Mr Bollywood, a book that is being circulated at the ongoing MAMI Festival has stirred up a controversy in the film industry.
The author, Jerusalem-born, New York-raised Rina Golan, has named industry veterans Subhash Ghai, Anup Jalota, Anees Bazmee and even Dr Ali Irani in her 119-page biography, where she claims they have all asked her for sexual favours in passages that are not fit to print in this publication for their explicit content.
When Mumbai Mirror got in touch with all four of them, they denied the allegations vehemently, with some of them rubbishing the book as a cheap publicity trick and others even denying having met her.
Golan claims that her love for Bollywood has not diminished because of her experiences. “My book is about Shah Rukh Khan. I needed to reach out to him. I fell in love with India, Bollywood and SRK,” said Rina, adding, “Yes, I have had some good and some bad experiences in the industry. But that is life. None of this has changed my feelings about the country. I still love India, Bollywood and Shah Rukh Khan.”
Golan however says her book is not just about the casting couch but also about “Courage, honesty and integrity,” and that she intends to find her “dream life” in the city.
Though Golan claims she is “scared” she is also busy promoting her book among the very people she has named in her story.

Lol Rooney, quite a sensationalizing heading.
Don’t know if what this model is saying is true or not, but I have no doubts at all that Bollywood is not some nice place. Its true that casting couch mentality is pretty rampant in Bollywood. What particularly disturbs me is when the back dancers, especially the foreigners, are made to wear obscene clothes. It’s almost as if its for someone’s fantasy behind the stage.
