In India, several cases have emerged where celebrity secretaries or Managers have been involved in alleged cheating and fraud schemes.
Notedly, Celebrities are often vulnerable to such schemes due to the immense trust they repose in their Secretaries or Managers to manage their finances, schedules, and personal affairs. This trust can be exploited by individuals seeking to exploit their positions for financial gain. The allure of celebrity involvement can also be used to promote fraudulent schemes, as seen with the betting app scandal.
The recent case is of
Vedika Shetty, Alia Bhatt’s former personal assistant, who was arrested for allegedly forging the actress’s signature and siphoning 76.9 lakh from her production house Eternal Sunshine Productions Pvt Ltd
as well as from her personal account amid May 2022 and August 2024.
She was on the hideout in Mengaluru Pune and Rajasthan, but was arrested from Bengaluru. She was also managing Finance of Soni Razdan, Alia’s mother. Vedika was arrested from production house of Alia Bhatt in Juhu.
Earlier actress Urvashi Rautela’s Mother Meera Rautela had accused Vedika Shetty of theft and deceit amidst her time as Urvashi’s personal assistant amid 2015 and 2017, causing significant financial loss to their family.
Beyond secretaries, other celebrity staff members have also faced allegations of fraud and misconduct.
Television actors Kunal Verma and Puja Banerjee lost their life savings owing to a fraudulent investment scheme recommended by a financial advisor.
Over and above even several actors and influencers, including Prakash Raj, Rana Daggubati, and Vijay Deverakonda, have faced scrutiny for allegedly promoting illegal betting apps.
