Pakistani actress Hira Khan has recently revealed a disturbing incident she narrowly avoided involving a questionable casting attempt.
In a viral interview clip making the rounds on social media, Hira recounted her experience with a director who tried to lure her into a dubious audition. According to Hira, she was approached by another actress on a drama set, who informed her that a director was seeking a new female cast member and suggested she reach out. Hira followed the advice and contacted the director to discuss the opportunity.
The situation took a troubling turn when the director requested photos of Hira Khan, expressing no interest in her previous work and insisting on an immediate audition. When Hira suggested attending the audition in the afternoon, the director insisted it take place at 11 PM instead. He also requested that she wear a short or bold dress, assuring her that the audition would be kept confidential and the videos shown only to producers.
Suspecting something was wrong, Hira turned off her phone and consulted another industry director, who confirmed her concerns. The director advised that legitimate auditions are never conducted in such a manner and warned her it was likely a scam.
Hira Khan’s courageous disclosure has ignited conversations about the risks and challenges faced by aspiring actors, particularly women, in the entertainment industry. Her story serves as a crucial reminder to remain vigilant and cautious in the face of predatory behavior.
