Mumbai, April 16 (NationPress) Reality show contestant, Imran Nazir Khan, has brought to light his alleged casting couch experience on social media.
Khan participated in the new reality series on Zee5, "Real Man Unleashed", which is hosted by Sunny Leone, Sahil Khan, and Mr. Faisu.
He claims that on the very first day of filming, he was asked to "compromise", and when he declined, he was threatened regarding his career.
In his social media post, Khan recounted, "I recently took part in a reality show hosted by Sunny Leone, Sahil Khan, and Mr Faisu. On the very first day, the producer asked if I was willing to 'compromise.' I firmly said no."
Khan asserted that he was unjustly removed from the show, stating, "Upon reaching the finals, I was asked the same question again - insisting, 'If you want to win, you must compromise. If not, you're out.' I once again declined. Shortly after that, I was eliminated. I protested, saying it was completely unfair; I had worked hard to reach the finals, and this is not how things should operate."
He further claimed that the producer began to threaten him, saying, "You won't be able to survive in Mumbai. I'll ensure you don't find work. If you post about this on social media, I will have your account deleted. I'll destroy your career."
Khan also mentioned that other contestants have faced similar situations, including Vashu Jain, last year's Roadies winner, and Jovel Mathew. He stated, "This didn't only happen to me. Two other contestants faced the same issue - one being an ex-Roadies contestant, and the other a Roadies champion. This goes beyond just the show. This is about dignity. And I will not remain silent."
Reportedly, when the creative team learned of these events, they walked off the project just a day before the finale.
