Aspiring stars, take note: Ekta Kapoor isn’t mincing words about scams hijacking her production house’s reputation. The television czarina used her Instagram platform Friday to drop a bombshell advisory against fake casting ruses.
‘Formal clarification for everyone concerned,’ her post began. Balaji Telefilms confirmed unauthorized actors and sham accounts are flooding social media with counterfeit offers for their pipeline of TV shows, OTT series, and movies. These cons exploit the glamour of Balaji’s brand to dupe the hopeful.
Ekta drew a firm line: Balaji doesn’t charge for opportunities. Zero fees for sign-ups, auditions, or deposits. Official deals? Only post in-person verifies at their premises. ‘We denounce these deceptive ploys exploiting dreams,’ she declared.
Legit hires flow through official casting pros and verified outlets alone. Verify, verify, verify—that’s Ekta’s mantra. Shun unvetted contacts peddling her name.
Dubbed controversy’s queen alongside her TV throne, Ekta’s resume boasts era-defining serials that glued families to screens. Her 2020 Padma Shri cements her legacy. In Tinseltown’s shark-infested waters, her guidance is gold for navigating fraud.
