Shakti Kapoor in Casting Couch Controversy as Viral Clip Sparks Outrage

The Bollywood movie industry has had its share of villains, and Shakti Kapoor has been one both on and off-screen. He has donned many hats as an evil character, but is best known for his villainous character in the epic movie, Andaz Apna Apna . The movie will always be known as a landmark comedy film as Shakti's 'Crime Master Gogo's act became a hit.

Just like his on-screen persona being shady, eerie as an antagonist, he is known to be kind off-screen. However, there was a time when Shakti was caught in a casting couch stint that tumbled his career.
