Hira Khan narrowly escapes disturbing casting fraud

Pakistani actress Hira Khan has revealed that she narrowly avoided a disturbing casting fraud.

A video of her interview went viral on social media, where she shared her experience with a director who attempted to lure her into a suspicious audition.

Hira shared that she was approached by fellow actress while on the set of a drama.

“On her advice, I contacted the director and we initiated the conversation,” she said. “However, things took a disturbing turn when the director asked for photos…stating he was not interested in seeing her previous work but wanted her for an immediate audition.”

“When I agreed for an audition in the afternoon, he insisted me to come at 11 PM instead.”

The actress claimed that the director further instructed her to “wear a short or bold dress”, claiming the audition would be kept secret and that the videos would only be shown to producers.

Sensing something was off, she quickly turned off her phone and sought advice from another industry director.

The director confirmed her suspicions, warning her that legitimate auditions are never conducted in such a manner and advising her that this was an attempted scam.
