"Today, I will not accept anyone who claims that the casting couch does not exist in our profession," Tabeir remarked. "My journey began with very modest roles; it began with extras, junior artists, minor supporting roles, large supporting roles, negative, negative lead, and ultimately lead characters." "I have a long trip ahead of me, and it's a process," she added. "People frequently write that despite being a talented actress, I have not achieved the position where I should be, and I believe this 'casting couch' is one of the causes to blame."
The actress goes on to say that she isn't looking for fame, money, or anything else. She wonders why, if dancing on stage or at home brings the same joy, she chooses movies as a platform by compromising herself. "Tollywood isn't the only business out there. If someone is passionate about something, they will find opportunities in other fields as well. For the job, I don't have to sacrifice my self-respect or compromise in any way," Ester adds. For the uninitiated, Ester has appeared in films such as Bheemavraam Bullodu and Jaya Janaki Nayaka.
