What Is the Case?

According to Ruchi Gujjar, the matter pertains to the co-production of a Hindi television show. She claims to have transferred INR 24 lakh from her company, SR Event and Entertainment, to Karan Singh Chauhan's firm, K Studios, and other accounts between July 2023 and January 2024. Ruchi said that Karan Singh Chauhan approached her via WhatsApp, claiming that he was producing a TV show that would soon air on Sony TV. According to media reports, the actress said, "He offered to add me as a co-producer and also sent documents related to the project."

Believing the offer, Ruchi transferred payments to several accounts during the above-mentioned period, but the world for the show never started. She said, "Despite repeated contacts, he kept postponing them and lied." Ruchi claimed that Karan Singh Chauhan instead used her money to invest in the film So Long Valley.
