Fatima Sana Shaikh Reveals Her Casting Couch Experience In South Film Industry

Fatima Sana Shaikh, recognized as one of the most talented actresses in the industry, began her career as a child actor and rose to prominence with her lead debut in Aamir Khan’s Dangal. She has since delivered remarkable performances in films like Dangal, Ludo, Ajeeb Daastaans, and Dhak Dhak.

In a recent conversation with an entertainment portal, Fatima opened up about a troubling casting couch experience in the South film industry. Recalling the incident, she shared, “He (casting agent) asked me, ‘You will be ready to do everything, right?’ I told him that I will be working hard and will do what is required for the role, but he kept saying that and I played dumb because I wanted to see how low can he get.”

Fatima also recounted another unsettling encounter in Hyderabad, where some producers openly discussed the casting couch, albeit indirectly. She explained, “We were in a room, and the producers would talk about it very openly, giving indications that you have to meet people. They wouldn’t say it outright, but it was clear what they meant. However, not everyone is like that.”

On the professional front, Fatima has an exciting slate of upcoming projects, including Metro In Dino, Ul Jalool Ishq, and Aap Jaisa Koi. Metro In Dino, which has been in development for over two years, was initially slated for a 2023 release before being delayed to 2024. The release date has since been postponed again, with no official announcement yet.
