Suhel Seth denies casting couch comment
Adman and actor Suhel Seth has clarified on allegedly accusing filmmakers Subhash Ghai and Mahesh Bhatt of indulging in unethical practices, terming it a case of "trite editing".

In a two-minute video uploaded on the web May 16, Seth talks about "Kahaani" that he had recently watched. He praised director Sujoy Ghosh and said: "My attract the entire Mahesh Bhatts and Subhash Ghais and all of the titans can be to get off your casting couch, you have been there, done her, and begin investing in individuals who can write good scripts."

Bhatt's daughter, actress and filmmaker Pooja Bhatt, reacted to the video and tweeted: "Media calling me about some statement my friend Suhel Seth made about my father & the casting couch!? Ahem!

Is that how ROG came to fruition? Must add that of all of the people my father has cast, the concept of Suhel Seth spread eagle across my father`s casting couch is most alarming!"

Seth replied to hersaying: "Watch how I jam the parents who contorted everything I said, way to trite editing...your Dad`s my friend and someone I respect!"

When certainly one of Seth's followers asked him to touch upon all of the matter and he obliged by tweeting: "They`re a number of idiots who say that! I DO KNOW and respect both! It was trite editing that is why I haven`t bothered!"
