Kumkum Bhagya's Shikha Singh files cheating case against event organiser

Shikha Singh

Actor Shikha Singh from the TV show Kumkum Bhagya has filed a cheating case against an event organiser for not paying her Rs 11.3 lakh for a show. She was asked to be a part of the show in November 2017 in Ghana, and was to be paid a total of Rs 12 lakh. The accused, Deepak Chaturvedi, gave her Rs 70,000 in cash and the remainder through a cheque, which bounced.

Chaturvedi said, "I was only the mediator. The Ghana-based organiser did not make the payment, so I cancelled the event. But in November, he said he will pay her R11.3 lakh when she lands in Ghana. When she arrived, I asked her to not go on stage because her payment was pending. I had informed her on WhatsApp, but no one responded."
