Pakistani actress Shameen Khan has stirred conversation with her recent remarks on the controversial topic of the casting couch in the entertainment industry.
Shameen, who has been active in television dramas for over a decade, appeared as a guest on the FHM podcast. Known for her candid opinions, she addressed the sensitive issue openly.
She stated that, in her experience, the casting couch does not exist. “I have never been offered anything like that during my career,” she said. According to her, participation in such practices is a personal choice, not something forced on women in the industry.
Shameen further commented that some claims about casting couch experiences may not reflect the complete picture. She explained that while she cannot confirm if others are lying, many women choose that path voluntarily and later benefit financially, sometimes supported by affluent partners.
Her remarks challenge widely reported accounts in the Pakistani entertainment industry, where several actors and actresses have previously spoken about coercion and exploitation.

According to her, people sometimes wish to explore experiences they missed earlier in life, and remarriage can be a personal choice.
Shameen also offered her thoughts on polygamy in general. She emphasized that men have the option to marry again but must ensure they do not abandon their first wife. She highlighted that the first wife plays a central role in creating a family, and any new relationship should be approached with understanding, respect, and fairness toward all parties involved.
