'I Want to Kiss You,' Actress Freezes upon Hearing Demand, Cries a Lot

Actress Falak Khan shares a distressing audition experience where a director made an inappropriate comment that left her shocked and emotional.

Falak Khan, currently seen in the show 'Sahar Hone Ko Hai,' revealed that her journey to success has been fraught with struggles, including experiences with casting couch practices. In a recent interview with ETimes, she recounted a particularly disturbing incident during an audition that shook her confidence. She had prepared extensively for the audition, entering the room filled with hope and dreams, only to be confronted with an unexpected and inappropriate comment from the director.

During the audition, instead of discussing the script, the director shockingly stated, 'I want to kiss you,' leaving Falak momentarily frozen and unable to react. She described the overwhelming mix of emotions that surged through her at that moment, caught between the instinct to yell or flee the room. Initially, she wished it was a bad joke, but the seriousness on the director's face confirmed otherwise, leading to feelings of distress and violation.

While the content of the comment itself hurt her, it was the manner in which it was conveyed that struck deeper. This revelation brings attention to the pervasive issues of harassment and the challenges faced by aspiring actors, particularly women, within the industry. Falak's courage in sharing her experience highlights the need for greater awareness and protective measures against such unacceptable behavior in the entertainment world.
