Mumbai, March 28 (NationPress) Actor Shreyas Talpade’s team has released an official statement following his name being mentioned in a multi-crore chit fund scam.
They have dismissed the claims regarding the actor's involvement in the scam and labeled the allegations of fraud or misconduct as entirely false and baseless.
The actor’s team stated, “It is extremely unfortunate that in the current times, an individual's hard-earned reputation is susceptible to unjust damage due to unfounded rumors. Recent announcements suggesting Mr. Shreyas Talpade's involvement in any fraudulent activities are completely false, baseless, and lack any substantial evidence. As a public figure, Mr. Talpade, similar to many other celebrities, is regularly invited to several corporate and annual events, which he attends whenever feasible.”
The team emphasized that apart from such appearances, the actor has no connection whatsoever with the company implicated.
“It goes without saying that Mr. Talpade has no links whatsoever to any fraudulent or illegal activities as alleged and/or circulated. We encourage everyone to ascertain the facts before disseminating misinformation and request that Mr. Talpade's name be distanced from these unfounded rumors. Mr. Talpade is a law-abiding citizen who strives to uphold the highest standards of integrity, honesty, and professionalism in all his endeavors,” they added.
On Thursday, Shreyas encountered additional legal issues as a new fraud case was filed against him and 14 others in Uttar Pradesh. The chit fund scam reportedly functioned in Mahoba district of Uttar Pradesh for over a decade.
Earlier, it was reported that a company named The Loni Urban Multistate Credit and Thrift Cooperative Society Limited targeted villagers by promising lucrative returns on investments.
Agents of the company are alleged to have gathered substantial amounts of money from locals, enticing them with the promise that their investments would double swiftly, reminiscent of what occurred with Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar in ‘Phir Hera Pheri’.
Meanwhile, the superstar and Shreyas will be seen together in ‘Welcome to the Jungle’.
