Dear Alochoks:
I am sure we have all heard of the proverbial "casting couch" where people are asked to do unspeakable, immoral things just so that they are able to land the role of a lifetime or even manage to get their foot in the door. It is heinous and egregious.
But, the reality is there are those who are either desperate and are willing to demean themselves. Or who have a different set of morals and consider it simply a means to advance their career or those who simply don't know any better. People like that make it possible for such processes to continue. If they refused to cooperate at the possible expense of their career the prevalence of such disgusting behavior would have been limited or decreased.
I wish Ms. Haque could actually file against the man who propositioned her. I would be very curious to know who he is and where he is in the hierarchy of the organization and what the organization as a whole would do if these things were made known in a larger media. What kind of laws do we have in Bangladesh regarding harassment? This entire think stinks of a HR violation.

Subject: [ALOCHONA] BEWARE OF CHANNEL-I OFFICIALS
Dear All,
I dropped my CV to Channel-i for a post of News Presenter few months
back. After several auditions I remained at their short-list with
expectation to be selected finally. At this stage I received a call
to my mobile phone one mid-night from a person who described himself
as a senior official ("Kormokorta") of Channel-i and asked me whether
I am interested to be his 'friend'. He called the mobile number which
was only at the CV that I dropped at Channel-i. Even after he knew
that I am married (from the CV), he wanted to take 'advantage' of his
post. I had to reject his proposal with hate to be a News Presenter
of this century.
I knew that model girls, film actresses and other professionals of
glamour world have to 'sacrifice' sometimes to get positions. But I
had no idea that News Presenters have to face same problems. Now I
lost honor to the profession and faith to the TV channels of our
country.
Regards,
Synthia Haque
