New Delhi:
Actor Hrithik Roshan's former wife Sussanne Khan, accused of fraud, has in turn alleged that the complaint is aimed at 'intimidating' her into withdrawing a breach of contract suit that she filed against the firm in question.
The Times of India reported that Ms Khan was booked for cheating a real estate firm named Emgee Properties out of Rs 1.87 crore by falsely posing as an architect. Ms Khan, an interior designer by profession, said in a statement on Sunday that her contract had been wrongfully terminated and that she was owed money by Emgee Properties. The complaint of cheating was to 'pressurize' her into dropping the civil suit she filed last year, said Ms Khan in a statement.
A statement on behalf of Sussanne Khan, who is currently in London, read: "This is with reference to news appearing in a section of media where it has been reported that I have cheated Emgee Enterprises and misrepresented that I am an Architect. The said complaint is motivated and preposterous and has been only filed to intimidate me and pressurize me to withdraw the arbitration proceedings initiated by me in the first instance to recover my dues and damages resulting from breach of contract."
Ms Khan also said that the complaint was filed with the intention of harassing her: "As a background I have challenged the termination of the contract and have invoked arbitration under the contract for recovery of my dues. As a counter-blast to the said proceedings Mr Mudhit Gupta only with the intention to harass and pressurize me to give into his frivolous counterclaim initiated the criminal complaint."
Ms Khan said that she will take legal action: "I have not made any misrepresentations and have maintained the highest standards of ethics in discharge of my work. I am going to take the arbitral proceedings to the logical conclusions and instead of getting intimated will respond to such frivolous complaint and will give a befitting response. Such complaints do not scare me rather it encourages me to stand up for the truth. The allegations in complaints are false and defamatory and I will take appropriate proceedings in accordance with law."
On Twitter, Ms Khan's sister Farah Khan Ali tweeted:
Ms Khan claims that she was hired by Emgee Properties in 2013 to work on a project in Goa and that she, in turn, hired two architects.
Sussanne Khan, 37, and Hrithik Roshan, 42, married in 2000 and divorced in 2014. They are parents to two sons - Hrehaan and Hridhaan.
