Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty along with her sister Shamita Shetty and mother Sunanda Shetty are in deep legal trouble as the owner of an automobile agency, Parhad Amra filed a complaint against them. The businessman claimed that Shilpa’s late father, Surendra Shetty, had borrowed Rs.21 lakhs and was supposed to return the amount in January 2017. But just a few months before the due date, Surendra passed away in October 2016. Now, Shilpa’s family has denied the allegations and they would be present for the hearing on January 29, 2019 at the Metropolitan Magistrate Court.

According to a report, “Amra paid the first instalment of Rs 8 lakh on August 20, 2015, from his automobile agency account, then a second one of Rs 5 lakh on September 5, 2015 from his personal account, and the third one of Rs 8 lakh on October 7, 2015 from his automobile agency's account. All payments were made through cheques drawn in the favour of Surendra's firm 'Corgifts’”. Parhad also shared that he had a cordial relationship with Shilpa’s father and had lent the said amount to Shetty for some business purpose.

The businessman further claimed that Surendra had told that his daughters and his wife are a part of this business and are aware of it. But said when Amra approached them after Surendra’s death, the family members denied the loan was ever taken and refused to repay the amount. Shilpa stated, “I have never had any involvement in my late father's business, and have no knowledge at all of the financial dealings of the company. This gentleman is misleading the media. I knew him in the capacity of our family car mechanic that's all."
