Shilpa Shetty and Family in LEGAL TROUBLE Over a Rs.21 Lakh Loan! READ

Shilpa Shetty, her sister Shamita Shetty and her mother Sunanda are being dragged to court by a proprietor of an automobile agency, Parhad Amra.

Parhad claims that Shilpa's late father had borrowed Rs 21 lakh and was supposed to pay the amount with interest in January 2017.

Shilpa's family has denied the allegations and will be up for hearing on January 29 at the Metropolitan Magistrate Court. As per a report in Mid-Day, Parhad claims that he shared a cordial relationship with Shilpa's father and it was in July 2015 that he provided financial help to Surendra Shetty for his business.

The report claims, "Amra paid the first instalment of Rs 8 lakh on August 20, 2015, from his automobile agency account, then the second one of Rs 5 lakh on September 5, 2015, from his personal account, and the third one of Rs 8 lakh on October 7, 2015, from his automobile agency's account. All payments were made through cheques drawn in the favour of Surendra's firm 'Corgifts'."

Parhad further claims that he was told that Sunanda and his two daughters were his partners and aware of this business transaction. But a few months before the set date, Surendra Shetty passed away in October 2016. But after his death, "Sunanda and her daughters denied that the loan was ever advanced, and refused to repay the amount." 

Speaking to mid-day, Shilpa said, "I have never had any involvement in my late father's business, and have no knowledge at all of the financial dealings of the company. This gentleman is misleading the media. I knew him in the capacity of our family car mechanic that's all."

Stay tuned for more updates.
