TV actress Haley Shah spoke about an experience like a casting couch that took place at the beginning of his career recently.

Haley did not name the show, but said that he was quite popular at that time.
Apart from TV, Haley has also worked in the famous web series Gullak
Haley said,
We went to audition. After that, those people started talking to me in the gestures in front of my mother. It was not a completely casting couch, but was quite strange and intimidating. I did not even want to tell it to anyone.
Haley further said,
If he would say directly that the agency would take 10 percent as fees, we would have given it, but the way he spoke, and the way he did, it was very strange. The man himself also looked doubtful. Perhaps my mother was with him, so she spoke in the limit. But if I were alone, he could do anything. I do not know. As soon as we came out of the office, I started feeling very scared. I was trembling. Then the industry was new and did not even understand what was happening.

Looks bad, because from inside it is known that you can also do what another is doing and getting.

Just as others get opportunities, we do not get it, but what can we do? If someone says that you can do this, I will do it. I can meet people, audition, but what should I do beyond that? I can just think and pray.
