Falaq Naaz calls out casting director Shadman Khan for non-payment of dues

Taking to her Instagram handle, Falaq shared a post in which she talked about repeatedly asking for payment from Khan. He "guaranteed" full payment, but failed to clear the dues. In her note, she shared that Khan has not paid other artists as well. "### Awareness Thread on Shadman Khan's Unethical Business Practises. I'm writing to raise awareness about Shadman Khan and his casting agency regarding the project Guilty or Not Guilty. Despite having worked in casting for the past four years and living a luxurious lifestyle, he has failed to pay artists their due amounts," she wrote.

She further urged the TV community to boycott Khan until he fulfills his obligations. "This lack of accountability is unacceptable. I urge everyone in our community to boycott Shadman until he fulfills his obligations."

In her caption, she revealed that Khan blocked her on social media. "After a year of hard work, I still await payment. It’s time for accountability. Join me in demanding justice and supporting ethical practices in our industry," read her caption.
