Paragg Mehta, the casting director of Netflix’s latest horror series “Betaal”, claims he had spooky experiences while auditioning for the show!

“I still remember a spooky thing that happened at my office. It was evening, a bit dark outside when we had scheduled Aahana Kumra’s auditions for ‘Betaal’ at our office. I, along with my team and the entire setup were ready to roll and record, but when we started, the lights suddenly went off. My team checked with the security downstairs and learnt that the whole building’s electricity was gone. It came back within a few minutes, so we planned to start again. But once again it went off, and it was all dark. We couldn’t see each other. This happened three times and later when electricity resumed, all the air conditioners in the rooms stopped working. We finally decided to audition Aahana at her place,” Paragg told IANS.

The casting director says he found the incident scary! “I don’t believe in ghosts but, yes, this incident scared me! Now, I am smiling as I recall the experience but at that moment I got really scared,” he pointed out.
