Famous actress Hira Khan warned new artists of casting fraud by sharing her own experiences.
Recently, she gave an interview to Fuschia Magazine, which has gone viral on various social media platforms.
In the interview, the actress narrated what happened in the audition without naming anyone, explaining how an experienced artist from the industry suggested she attend a fake audition, and how another director from the industry tricked her.
She said, “When I was shooting for the drama serial Mere Humsafar, a fellow artist, whom I met on the sets, gave me the number of a director and said that he wanted a girl for a new project. Contact him.”
She added, “Following the advice of the fellow artist, I called the said director and instead of asking me about my work, he asked for my photos and called me for an audition.”
She continued, “When I asked him to fix the time in the afternoon, he called me at 11 pm.”
Hira Khan said that the director told her, “You will have a screen test and will be selected based on that. You will have to wear bold clothes for the screen test,” and added that “your audition should be kept secret, which will only be seen by the producers.”
The actress explained that after hearing the director’s words, she became suspicious and called another director from the industry to ask if auditions were conducted in such a manner.
