From her arrest in a financial fraud case to cops seizing assets; All you need to know about Pooja Bhoir controversy

Marathi child actress Saisha Bhoir has entertained viewers with her on-screen naughty performances in the shows like Rang Maza Vegla and Nava Gadi Nava Rajya. The 8-year-old actress recently got into the headlines when her mother Pooja Bhoir got arrested in the financial fraud case in May 2023. Many things have happened in the last two months that have affected the professional and personal front of Saisha. Here’s looking at all that was in the buzz surrounding Saisha Bhoir and what has happened so far.

Saisha's mother Pooja was arrested by the Cuffe Parade police in May 2023 when she allegedly duped a director of an educational institute and his wife of Rs 16 lakh. Pooja had allegedly asked them to invest in her company promising a return of 10.10 per cent on a weekly basis but later denied giving them the return and gave them harsh responses, hence, the director couple filed a case against her.

After the arrest of Pooja Bhoir, ETimes TV exclusively reached out to a source close to both the shows where Saisha is working and inquired about the child actor's work. The makers and channel team told us that they will allow Saisha to work in their shows despite her mother's arrest and support her whenever she needs them.

After the alleged couple filed a case against Pooja, many individuals from various cities of Maharashtra came together and filed their complaints. Reportedly, Pooja has duped people over Rs. 3 crore by using the name of Saisha and her fame.

Individuals from Nashik filed a case against Saisha's father Vishant for duping people of lakhs of rupees. Saisha's father Vishant has been absconded since then and the team EOW is working on the search operation.

Police recently seized the assets of Saisha's parents Pooja Bhoir and Vishant Bhoir. The other assets including cars, bank accounts and savings related to Saisha's accounts were also traced and seized.

Saisha Bhoir's family recently announced to quit her show Nava Gadi Nava Rajya. The source of her family told ETimes TV exclusively that Saisha is currently staying with her grandparents because her mother is in jail and father is absconded and it has become hard for them to drop and receive her from the set of the show.

Police visited her house in Kalyan Maharashtra and reportedly, documents of Pooja, related to financial transactions and bank accounts have been found. Police also found the receipts and papers related to Pooja's jewellery which has been kept on the mortgage.
