Hyderabad, A case has been registered against an actress and her family for allegedly cheating a London-based software engineer $9.35 crore on the pretext of marriage, police said on Monday.
A 60-year-old man filed a complaint with the Central Crime Station alleging that the actress cheated on his son, following which the case was filed against her and her three family members on April 20.
“The complainant alleged that his son was cheated $9 crore…we are verifying it,” a police official said.
The complainant stated that his son met the accused in 2018, through mutual friends, when he was in India. She told his son that she is an actress and that she completed her master’s degree in the United States. Within two months of meeting him, in March 2018, she told him she would marry him.
She also said that the issue of his divorce from his previous marriage was not important and the relationship continued.
“After his son accepted her proposal, she told him that her H1B visa had an issue. She also stated that her education loan was on hold and that her father had stopped supporting her financially. She asked him to support her financially, which he did after she repeatedly stressed that she would marry him.”
In July 2020, when his son asked her to arrange a meeting between the two families for marriage, she refused to marry him, the complainant said, adding that when his son asked her to pay the money and return the gold that she had bought for her under the guise of marriage, she avoided him.
A meeting was arranged to settle the issue, where she agreed to return $70 thousand and gave her blank checks, but she later tore them up. The actress’s sister and mother then contacted the complainant’s son in November 2020 and told him that she was suffering from depression after the breakup. She trusted them, and his son resumed the relationship, the complainant said.
From 2020 to 2025, she repeatedly assured his son and his family that she would marry him, but she kept delaying, and during this period, she took large sums of money and made his son buy real estate, vehicles, and gold in her name, the complainant alleged.
In July 2025, she again refused to marry his son besides threatening him with false cases and stopped responding. The complainant said that his son suffered huge financial loss and mental stress due to the false promise of marriage and contacted the police seeking action against the actress and her family.
