In March 2005, [[India TV]] released a video allegedly showing Shakti Kapoor asking for sexual favour from an undercover reporter posing as an aspiring actress, in return for entry into the film industry. He told the undercover reporter: "I want to make love to you ... kiss you"<ref name="gd">{{cite news|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/mar/16/film.india|title=Bollywood baddie shown as casting couch villain|last=Ramesh|first=Randeep|date=16 March 2005 |work=The Guardian|access-date=7 July 2009}}</ref> According to India TV, this was a [[sting operation]] to expose the phenomenon of [[casting couch]] prevalent in Bollywood. This incident sparked a controversy in Bollywood and Kapoor was banned by the Film & Television Producers Guild of India. Association of Indian Motion Pictures and TV Programme Producers decided not to ban him as no allegations against him were proved. One week later, however, the Film & Television Producers Guild lifted the ban.<ref name="tt">{{cite news|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1050315/asp/nation/story_4494610.asp|title=Casting couch divide runs deep|last=Bhattacharya|first=Chandrima|date=15 March 2005|publisher=[[The Telegraph (Kolkata)|The Telegraph]]|access-date=7 July 2009}}</ref>
