Bigg Boss 11 runner up and TV actor Hina Khan, of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai fame, has been accused of fraud by a jewellery brand. She allegedly wore Rs 12 lakh worth of jewellery to promote a brand and did not return it after the event. She was given 15 days notice to return the jewellery.
Hina, who denied the charges, has now sent a counter legal notice to the jewellery brand for defamation and demanded an unconditional public apology within five days of receiving the notice. She shared a copy of the notice and a courier receipt of the notice on social media.
She found support in fellow contestant and friend Vikas Gupta.
Hina, earlier, took to Twitter to completely invalidate the news and deny any such allegations.
LOL wonder why this legal notice did not reach my house and instead reached all the media houses. Sorry haters this tactic will not work, try something new. Bhasoodi will still shine.Hina Khan via Twitter.
These allegations by the jewellery brand were brought to light by India News. While the actor denies receiving any legal notice, the news channel showed the legal notice with Hina's home address on it, according to India Today.
Currently, the actor is busy promoting her music video Bhasoodi, which has already crossed 8 million views.
Hina has a massive fan following, but no shortage of haters as well. She is frequently trolled on both Twitter and Instagram.
