Gauri Khan is brand ambassador for the real estate company
Shah Rukh Khan's wife Gauri Khan has been named in a police case by a Mumbai man who alleges that he was misled by her advertisement for a real estate company and booked an apartment that he never got.
Kirat Jaswant Shah alleges that the company, for which Gauri Khan is brand ambassador, took Rs 86 lakh from him for an apartment in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, but didn't hand it over in 2016, as promised to him.
The apartment was at Sushant Golf City, he says.
He has filed an FIR (First Information Report) in Lucknow against Tulsiyani Construction, its managing director Anil Kumar Tulsiyani, director, Mahesh Tulsiyani, and Gauri Khan. He has blamed Gauri Khan for “breach of contract”.
Shah says in the complaint that he bought the apartment influenced by a 2015 ad in which Gauri Khan spoke about the project.
The FIR comes at a time Shah Rukh Khan's blockbuster “Pathaan” has been breaking box office records and is said to have crossed the Rs 1000 crore-mark worldwide.
Gauri Khan has her own interior design company, Gauri Khan Designs. The 52-year-old has worked on many celebrity homes over the past few years.
