It was in 2018, that the actress had met with Singh during an event in Ranchi where she had convinced him to finance her movie ‘Desi Magic’ with Rs 2.5 crores. However, according to the publication’s report she and her business associate Krunal Goomer never completed shooting the project.

They had promised the filmmaker that they would return his movie with an interest of Rs 50 lakhs. After persuasion from the complainant’s side, Ameesha handed him two cheques for Rs 2.5 crore and Rs 50 lakh respectively in October 2018.

However, the cheques bounced which led the producer to take the legal route and file a complaint against Ameesha and her business partner Kunal. On Saturday morning, during the hearing, she surrendered herself in the Ranchi Civil Court and was granted conditional bail. She had been asked to physically appear before the court on June 21. Now a video of the actress leaving the court with a covered face is going viral on social media.
