In a viral interview clip circulating on social media, Hira detailed her experience with a director who attempted to lure her into a suspicious audition under questionable circumstances. During the interview, Hira shared that she was approached by a fellow actress while on the set of a drama.

The actress informed her that a director was looking for a new female cast member and suggested Hira reach out. Following this advice, Hira contacted the director and initiated a conversation.

However, things took a disturbing turn when the director asked for photos of Hira, stating he was not interested in seeing her previous work but wanted her for an immediate audition. When Hira proposed attending the audition in the afternoon, the director insisted she come at 11 PM instead.

He 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, Hira 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.

Hira Khan's brave disclosure has sparked discussions about the challenges and dangers that aspiring actors, especially women, face in the entertainment industry. Her story serves as a powerful reminder for vigilance and caution in the face of such predatory behavior.
