Ameesha Patel’s cheque bounce case

According to ANI, Ameesha was in Ranchi to attend a programme at Harmu Ground in 2018 where she met businessman Ajay Kumar Singh and discussed with him the financing of a film. He owns Lovely World Entertainment and invested in the filmmaking project. Since the film did not release at all, he demanded Ameesha to return his money. She returned the ₹2.50 crore amount through cheque but the cheque bounced.

In November 2021, Ameesha was in the headlines for a similar reason when her cheque of ₹32.25 lakh to UTF Telefilms bounced.
