But before you draw any conclusion about the case let us inform you that Karishma has denied the allegations levelled against her and told in a statement to the daily that the manager had deceived her instead. "I was told the show was in Moradabad. When we reached Moradabad, we found out that the show was actually in Haldwani, which is another few hours from there. I had told Manas right at the start that I have a back issue and can't travel long distances," stated Karishma.

Manas Katyal in his statement clearly mentioned that Karishma was roped in to perform at an event in Haldwani last month. She changed her decision at the last minute after her arrival in the capital city. "She threatened our driver with a false case of harassment if he didn't turn the car around and drive her back to Delhi," he clarified.

But Karishma is in no mood to listen to the argument Karishma in fact questioned "Why should I return the money? He should compensate me for the mental harassment that I was put through," reports mid-day.
