Actor Amala Paul filed a complaint against her estranged friend and former business partner Bhavninder Singh Dhatt for allegedly cheating her in a business deal and harassing her over some pictures. According to a media report, Bhavninder was arrested last week, a day after the actress filed the complaint with Villupuram Police. She had earlier filed a defamation suit against him in 2020 after claiming that he had falsely published pictures of them from a private photo shoot.
The duo were rumoured to be dating, however, it was never confirmed. In 2020, Bhavninder shared pictures of the two in wedding attire on social media, sparking speculations that the two had married. However, after Amala clarified the pictures were from a 2018 photoshoot, he deleted them. The two parted ways after.
According to reports, Amala and Bhavninder had started a film production company in 2018, when they were friends. However, after they parted ways, Amala claimed he forged documents to remove her from the post of the company’s director. He also threatened to upload their photos on social media. According to the complaint, the police registered a case against Bhavninder under various sections, including forgery, intimidation, and harassment, and arrested him.
Amala was last seen in the Disney+ Hotstar film ‘Cadaver’. As per the report, the film was her home production and the actor had heavily invested in it. The Tamil-language thriller was well received by critics upon its release on August 12.
