Popular actor Johnny Lever's daughter Jamie Lever recently opened up about her casting couch experience. Her contact details somehow landed in the hands of casting agents and she received an unexpected message about auditioning for a role. The audition was to be conducted via video call, with no script provided and she was asked to improvise. However, when she joined the call, the other person kept their camera off, citing being in transit.

In a conversation with Zoom, Jamie said, "The person who was posing as a director said, ‘I am in transit so I can’t switch on my video but this is an international film we are casting for and you fit well in the part. But there are a few things that we want to test’."

"They said that you imagine there is a 50-year-old man in front of you and you are trying to woo this man, and eventually, there is an intimate scene. I said, ‘I am not very comfortable with this. When there is a script I will follow that’. They said, ‘There is no script, it is improvised so if you want to strip or if you want to say something or if you want to do something else, feel free to do that’," she said.

Jamie further added, "I said ‘Strip? No one told me about that. I am not comfortable doing this’. They said, ‘But this is a very big project and we really want to cast you, it’s a big opportunity for you’. I said, ‘But sir, if you are expecting me to strip on this video call, I am not comfortable doing this and I wasn’t informed about it’. Then I said, ‘I don’t even feel comfortable talking to you right now’ and then I quickly switched off the video."

"That’s when I realised that this could be such a big scam because had I done anything innocently, they could have made a video out of it, they could have harassed me and a lot of other things could have happened," she went on to state.
