Ameesha Patel took to her Instagram Story and wrote, "Media reports suggest about certain proceedings at Moradabad by one Pawan Verma. I wish to inform one and all that this is a v v old matter, which was years back, in which the said Pawan Verma had signed a settlement deed and received the entire agreed amount. Despite this, it seems he has lodged proceedings making false allegations."

The actress stated that her legal team will look into it and take action against the person. The post further read, "My lawyers are initiating appropriate criminal proceedings of cheating against this person to expose his lies, while I prefer to focus on my work and ignore people who choose to make a public spectacle for gaining attention on false pretexts."
