She added, Despite this it seems he has lodged proceedings making false allegations. My lawyers are initiating appropriate criminal proceedings of cheating against this person to expose his lies while I prefer to focus on my work and ignore people who choose to make a public spectacle for gaining attention on false pretexts.

Background of the case

The legal developments surrounding Ameesha Patel began after a Moradabad court considered a complaint related to a 2017 wedding event booking. Reports indicate that the court issued a non-bailable warrant against the actress on Monday because she did not attend a scheduled hearing. She has now been ordered to appear in court on March 27.

The case originated from a complaint filed by event organizer Pawan Verma. He claimed that Ameesha was hired to perform at a wedding on November 16, 2017. Verma alleged that an advance payment of ?14.50 lakh was made, and her accommodation was arranged at a hotel on Delhi Road in Moradabad. However, the actress did not attend the event. The organizer also stated that after discussions, she allegedly promised to return the full amount.
