This bit from the Aman Who? article was especially touching:

Verma, however, rejected her advances and suggested to her that she should try harder for roles through honest means

As usual, all of the 'victims' try to change the focus of discussion to the motive behind the operation. So IndiaTV wanted to gain more popularity, does that make the news any less of a sensation or any less true?
Well to Indians the motive does matter :)

That's what I've been wondering too -- no one seems to be talking about what it means if what he said was TRUE. One of my friends lived in Bombay for 4 years after college and she said she was appalled at all the idle rich girls she met who were willing to do (and had done) anything sexually to get into Bollywood.
