Akanksha Choudhary Alleges Kidnapping and Non-Payment by Pune Event OrganisersPreviousNext

Reality star Akanksha Choudhary accused Pune event organisers of non-payment, mismanagement, and forcibly taking her to a venue against her will. She described the incident as a kidnapping-like ordeal, alleging she was made to sit in a car and left in front of an audience without her team, despite expressing safety concerns. Akanksha also claimed the organisers used her images for promotion without consent and failed to clear her payment, threatening police action over the matter.
