The television audience is rejoicing currently as their favourite show Bigg Boss is back. Salman Khan who hosts Bigg Boss 12 kick-started the show last Sunday and now has become our dose of daily drama. The contestants of the show were introduced on the premiere episode and one couple who managed to surprise not only us but also Salman himself was Anup Jalota and his girlfriend Jasleen Matharu.

While the couple is already making headlines, Anup has managed to shock us again with yet another report. An Israeli model Reena Gonal has accused the bhajan singer of the casting couch, reported Jansatta. Reena published a book in 2011 titled Dear Mr Bollywood in which she mentioned the names of influential people in Bollywood who took advantage of her. Apart from Anup Jalota, the model had also mentioned director Subhash Ghai and producer-director Anees Bazmee.

Reena mentions that after being influenced by Shah Rukh Khan, she had come to become an actor to India. In 2009, after realising that her career wasn’t taking a start, she wanted to return. But after being informed about a new company starting in the country, Reena continued to stay in India and started promoting it. Reena wanted Bollywood personalities to be a part of this vitamin company and thus got acquainted with Anup. Anup met Reena a number of times but didn’t join the company. He instead asked her to start hosting his show and paid her 10 thousand per show.

Reena further mentioned in the book how Mr Jalota told her about his wife’s sad tale and asked her if she could be his wife. Reena further accused him of forcefully kissing her after calling her in his room. While Reena has accused Anup of casting couch, the singer has rubbished the news saying that when people don’t get a job, they do these things. Anup agreed to know Reena and also said that she was a part of his shows for 3 years and has also sung with him but denied any such instances taking place.
