“It is a matter of record that she has already worked for T-Series banner in Film and music videos. Around March 2021 she approached Mr. Bhushan Kumar seeking help to fund one of the web series which she wanted to produce, which was politely refused. Thereafter, in June 2021 after the lifting of lockdown in Maharashtra she started approaching the T-Series banner in collusion with her accomplice demanding a huge sum of money as an extortion amount.

Addressing the complaint filed by the lady in question it T-Series states, “We also have evidence in the form of audio recording for the extortion attempt and the same shall be provided to investigating agency.

We are in the process of consulting our lawyers in this regard and will take appropriate legal action.”
