Maanvi Gagroo, who is a well-known personality on the web world, had to face a casting couch experience in the middle of the #MeToo movement in India. In 2019, the actress was approached with an offer but was asked to 'compromise' for the pay.

Gagroo, who was last seen in Ayushmann Khurrana's film 'Shubh Mangal Zyaada Saavdhan' went on to reveal that only a year back, she received a call from a random number who offered her a role but they were not able to agree to a budget. However, she further went on to tell KoiMoi in an interview, that within the spur of a second, the production house was ready to increase their budget if she would 'compromise'.

She told the portal, “A year ago, I got a call from a random unknown number. They were like ‘we’re doing a web series and we wanted to cast you.’ They told me the budget and I said, ‘nai nai yaar, this is too less and why are we talking about the budget? Tell me the script, only if I’m interested and you are interested in roping me, we can discuss about money, dates and all.’ So he’s like ‘we’re asking people if they are okay with the budget.’ When I said ‘nahi, it’s less’, he tripled the budget just in his next sentence. He said, ‘I can give you this much also, but aapko ‘compro’ (compromise) karna padega.’”

The actress then went on to state her reaction. “This words ‘compro’, ‘compromise’ I was hearing after 7, 8 years. Suddenly I don’t know what triggered me, I started abusing him. Told him ‘aap phone rakho, how dare you? Mai police ko complaint kar rahi hu’. I was really mad because in this pro imposed #MeToo era, I was baffled at how things like this still happen,” said a completely baffled Gagroo, who is renowned for her web shows 'Tripling' and 'Four More Shots Please'.
