Actress Hafsa Butt Opens Up About Casting Couch in Showbiz

Actress and model Hafsa Butt has made headlines after revealing her personal experience with the casting couch culture in the entertainment industry.

In an appearance on FHM Pakistan, Hafsa shared that when she started her career, she received an inappropriate message from a powerful man in the industry, asking her to do “favours” in exchange for being featured on a title. When she questioned what he meant, the man directly responded that she should “be in his bed.”

Hafsa took a break from acting to complete her degree but returned to the industry due to her passion for acting. Known for being outspoken, she shared her views openly in the interview.

Her revelation has sparked a mixed response online. While some users criticized her timing—accusing her of using the story for fame—others supported her and pointed out that exploitation of juniors by seniors happens in many fields, not just showbiz.

Despite the divided opinions, Hafsa’s comments have once again brought the issue of harassment and abuse of power in the entertainment industry into the spotlight.
