Reports reaching here say that Bangalore city crime branch police on Thursday caught noted Tamil and Telugu actresses Yamuna and Suraksha red-handed at a 5-star hotel in Bangalore for their alleged involvement in a prostitution racket.
According to police, the raids were conducted on ITC Royal Gardenia Hotel on Thursday based on definite clues. The police arrested 9 persons including Yamuna, Suraksha and Venu Gopal for allegedly running a prostitution racket.
Both Suraksha and Yamuna have acted in a few Telugu and Tamil films and serials. A prominent software company proprietor was also among the arrested.
Earlier, film actresses like Vineeta, Bhuvaneshwari, Saira Banu and Jyoti have been accused of being involved in prostitution.
Insiders say that the film actresses take to prostitution as film offers dwindle, and roles are hard to come by.
Shockingly, actress Vinita had told media persons after being held for prostitution that she was forced to resort to the step after her mother told her that it was an easy way of getting roles in films.
One more reason for falling into prostitution is that most of the stars are addicted to a luxurious style of living.
