Actress Khushi Mukherjee now confronts a serious legal challenge. Influencer Faizan Ansari filed a defamation case against her on January 13. The lawsuit demands a staggering ₹100 crore in damages.
Controversial Comments About Cricketer Suryakumar Yadav
The legal action stems from public remarks made by Mukherjee. During an interaction, she answered a question about dating cricketers. The actress claimed several players had shown interest in her.
Mukherjee specifically mentioned Indian T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav. She stated that Yadav used to message her frequently in the past. "Suryakumar used to message me a lot," she said during the event. "We don't talk much now."
The actress made these comments while discussing her experiences with cricketers. She emphasized she wanted no associations or linkups with players. Her remarks quickly spread across social media platforms.

"We want an FIR registered immediately against Khushi Mukherjee," Ansari declared. "I have requested strict action in my written complaint."
