Every big casting director like Shanoo Sharma and Mukesh Chhabra has been posting on their social media handles to stay away from fake casting calls.
Recently TV actor Namish Taneja got extremely inappropriate messages from a fake casting director. He was last seen in ‘Vidya’ on Colors.

He was given a call for the next season of the famous show ‘Naagin 5’ which is Ekta Kapoor’s supernatural story set. He felt that something was not right and decided to diss the conversation. However, the casting director’s next message abused him and that left Namish shocked. The message said that he should “commit suicide” and it said they’ll make sure Balaji never approaches him.

In an interview with SpotboyE he confirmed that is getting SMS, WhatsApp messages and calls from a casting director, with a display of a girl, claiming to be working for Balaji. He messaged the person and asked to send the details of the show he was being offered. She couldn’t answer his questions properly but gave her the benefit of doubt. But while speaking to her, he felt strange because the people who have spoken to him from Ekta’s team have been extremely professional and correct.

After a few texts, Namish stopped replying and then the girl started abusing him. Namish started ignoring her after which she sent a message stating him to commit suicide.
He also said that it is sadder in these times where people are already dealing with so much and the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdown has forced people into depression and then there are people who are spreading more hate.
