The complainant showed interest and then was introduced to the Casting Director of Karma Film Production. Later on, her number was shared with the Casting Director. The Casting Director called and said that if she is interested in acting and modeling, then she will have to reach Vadodara and pay Rs. 15,000 to prepare her portfolio.
