Zareen Khan has registered an FIR against her former manager Anjali Atha at the Khar police station on 6 December. According to news agency ANI, Anjali allegedly misbehaved with her, threatened her and sent objectionable messages on her mobile phone after the actor terminated her services. An investigation is underway.
According to Mumbai Mirror, the 1921 actor filed the complaint against her former manager when she learnt that Anjali was spreading malicious gossip about her in the industry and even accepting money on her behalf.
Zareen’s advocate, Rizwan Siddiquee, confirmed the news saying that the FIR was a bid to protect his client’s name.
“The matter now needs to be investigated further therefore an FIR was registered in the said matter under Section 509 of Indian Penal Code. A woman’s dignity and reputation is of immense value and cannot be put at risk by anyone indulging in character assassination, especially someone who was her representative once and was trusted blindly.”Rizwan Siddiquee, Zareen Khan’s Advocate
