An investigation into the hidden reality of sex, power and corruption that lies behind the grand edifice of Bollywood - the world's biggest film industry. India's movie moguls were recently rocked to the core by allegations of sex being traded for film roles. Reporter Tanya Datta takes an unprecedented, candid, behind-the-scenes look at the real lives of the rich and famous and uncovers a seedy sub-culture that reduces aspirant actors and actresses to sex objects.
