Mita in an interview with Bollywood Hungama reveals that this incident happened a few years ago,"
"A director from South met me in Chennai. He offered me a lead role. The actress he had worked with was like the Smita Patil of the South. At that time, she had just won a major award. He offered me the role but the condition was that I should live with him for two months. I told him,
'Bullshit, keep your role and get lost'! There was not even a second thought."
Mita also added," His English was a little gadbad; at first, I thought he meant that I have to stay in Chennai for two months to learn the language. Then he clarified, 'No, no, you have to live with me'"
Mita Vashisht continued, "It was a lead role and yet I walked off as I didn't like the man. He might be a hot shot in the Telugu industry whose heroines were winning awards but I don't give a damn. For me, the art of acting is very pristine. And that is wonderful as I have worked with some of the greatest directors, that too on my terms in many ways. There has been a lot of mutual respect".
Indeed it's very saddening to see actresses still have to undergo these kinds of situations in the 21st century
