A deceitful message drifting around on person to person communication stage WhatsApp got the consideration of early afternoon yesterday. Under the affection of being sent by Nina Gold, throwing executive of well known American arrangement Game Of Thrones, the content seemed to encourage trying Indian performing artists to try out for a part on the show. “We are on a last minute casting hunt for an Indian Face for a lead character of an Indian Princess (sic),” the text, from a UK number, read. Beauty blogger Shikha Kohli, who also received the message, reveals, “I was told it would be a 64-day schedule, starting on March 28. When I asked the sender where she found my number from, she said she has a team that sources profiles from various agencies.”
Suspecting something not right about the strategy for throwing, late morning associated with Gold’s partner, Charlotte Chapman, just to discover that the message, indeed, was a piece of a lie. “There is an investigation underway [in the UK] as well. Those who haven’t been approached via our official email id should not respond to these messages. We aren’t looking for an Indian actress. We are in the process of compiling evidence against the imposter,” she said, adding that while her team has dealt with such miscreant before, “we aren’t sure how dangerous their intentions are”.
Despite the fact that the Indian branch of HBO, GoT’s host channel, declined to remark until trained further, an insider stated, “We [HBO] will have to be vigilant. It’s too early to say what action will be taken, but we will circulate a message on social media reiterating that such texts be brought to our notice. Once the US office has been intimated, we will decide whether a case should be filed.”
