Overview
- Mumbai influencer Faizan Ansari lodged a complaint at Ghazipur police station on January 13 seeking an FIR and Rs 100 crore in damages.
- Ansari characterized the actress’s statement as a publicity stunt and urged authorities to pursue strict action, including a potential seven-year jail term.
- Khushi Mukherjee later said there was no romantic relationship, that her comment was misunderstood, and claimed her Instagram account had been hacked.
- At least one outlet, Dunya News, reported that Suryakumar Yadav filed his own INR100 crore defamation suit, a claim not corroborated by major Indian reports as of January 16.
- The dispute traces to Mukherjee’s viral remark that Yadav "used to message me a lot," which drew broad attention across entertainment and sports coverage.
