Summary:

Reportedly,  an even manager Manas Katyal has slapped a legal notice accusing the actor of threatening, cheating and blackmailing him.

Ex- Bigg Boss contestant Karishma Tanna,  popularly known for her role in 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', 'Naagarjuna – Ek Yodha', has landed herself in a legal trouble after failing to fulfil the commitments of Delhi-based event managing company.

 Reportedly,  an even manager Manas Katyal has slapped a legal notice accusing the actor of threatening, cheating and blackmailing him.

Apparently, the actress was roped in to perform at a wedding reception in Haldwani on February 16. But it turns out that Tanna, who had been flown down to Delhi by them and was being brought to Haldwani by road, had a change of heart. 

n a statement to the daily, Manas Katyal said, “We gave her the advance payment, thus booking her for the said date. However, Karishma and her entourage, including her manager Payal Rai and stylist Seema Samar Ahmed, didn’t show up at the venue. Her no-show caused us a loss of nearly Rs 10 lakh.”

However, the 34-year old actress refuted the allegations levelled against her. She told the daily, “I was told the show was in Moradabad. When we reached Moradabad, we found out that the show was actually in Haldwani, which is another few hours from there. I had told Manas right at the start that I have a back issue and can’t travel long distances.”

In response to Katyal’s demand that the actress should compensate for his loss, Karishma further told the daily, “Why should I return the money? He should compensate me for the mental harassment that I was put through.” Meanwhile, Karishma’s lawyer Tushar Gujjar said, “They have responded to Katyal’s notice and initiated proceedings against him.”
