Recently, Bollywood actor Salman Khan seemed to have gotten into some legal trouble with a local businessman from Chandigarh who accused the actor of fraud. Arun Gupta, a local businessman from Chandigarh claimed that he was pressurized into investing Rs 2 to 3 crore for opening a franchise of Being Human Jewellery. He alleged the company of not keeping their promise of sending him jewellery stock and promoting his business. In his complaint, he named Salman Khan, sister Alvira Khan, CEO of Being Human and a few others. However, now Style Quotient Jewellery Pvt Ltd., the official licensee of Being Human Jewellery has issued a statement claiming that Salman and Alvira have “nothing to do” with the case.
