Namish Taneja exposes fake ‘Naagin 5’ casting call; receives abusive messages asking him to die instead of Sushant Singh Rajput

Becoming a victim of a fake casting call happens quite often in Bollywood and in the telly world. The latest person to have fallen in that trap is none other than actor Namish Taneja. The popular actor who was last seen in the hit show ‘Vidya’, received messages for the casting on ‘Naagin 5’. However, he soon figured out that things weren’t as real, and therefore decided to cease all ties with the casting agent, only to soon be yelled at with abusive messages.

Namish spoke to SpotboyE about the same and said, “I was getting WhatsApp messages, SMS and calls from this number, when I messaged her what exactly she (I assumed she was a girl after I saw her display picture on Whatsapp) wanted, she told me that she is casting for Balaji Telefilms and wanted to cast me for Naagin 5, I requested her to send the details. Though she failed to provide the details in a professional way, still I gave her the benefit of the doubt, but while chatting I realised something is corny. Earlier also I had received calls from Balaji, and they are utter professionals and this girl (God knows whether she is a girl or a boy) was a bit rude and weird. Later, when I stopped replying, she started using bad words and asked me to commit suicide. I wonder, what kind of people are these? And what do they get from doing such things? What will these fake casting/creative directors get after chatting with the actors?”

Namish went on to add, “Everybody is fighting a battle, and especially during these tough times, we should be kind to others. How can you tell someone to commit suicide? Maybe the other person is facing personal or professional problems or is in depression, God forbid, what if it instigates the suicidal feelings in them. I feel sad for these kinds of people, who say such things without even thinking. They are mentally sick, God bless them.”

Let’s wait and watch whether Namish takes any further steps or not.
