Actress and model Hafsa Butt has brought the casting couch conversation back into the spotlight after sharing a disturbing personal experience from the early days of her career.
In a recent interview, Hafsa spoke openly about inappropriate advances she faced within the entertainment industry. She recalled being contacted late at night by a powerful figure who suggested she could secure a lead role—if she offered certain “favours” in return.
When she sought clarification, the reply was blunt and unsettling: “You should be in my bed.”
Her candid account quickly went viral on social media, sparking widespread debate. While many praised her bravery for shedding light on a pervasive issue in showbiz, others questioned her motives—accusing her of seeking attention.
Online reactions ranged from supportive comments like “This is the harsh reality of the industry” to dismissive takes such as “This happens in every profession, not just entertainment.”
Known for her straightforward personality, Hafsa had previously stepped away from acting to pursue her education. Now back in television, she’s being recognised not just for her roles, but for speaking out on issues many continue to shy away from.
