Still from Game Of Thrones

A fraudulent message floating around on social networking platform WhatsApp caught the attention of mid-day yesterday. Under the pretext of being sent by Nina Gold, casting director of popular American series Game Of Thrones, the text appeared to urge aspiring Indian actors to audition for a role 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."
