Former Bigg Boss Contestant Sara Khan Lands in Legal Trouble Over Her Digital Series Bitchy Bee
Rajeev wasn't happy with his portions that were supposed to go on air and had slapped Sara Khan with a notice to prevent it.
Television actress and former Bigg Boss contestant Sara Khan has been in news recently, being mired in the legal case. And the person who dragged her into the legal mess happened to be a close friend of hers! The bone of contention happened to be her recently launched digital series, Bitchy Bee. If you are not aware of the show, it is about celebs coming on to the platform and talking about some of their not-discusses secrets, without a proper script to guide them. The first episode of the show has already been released, but it's the second episode that landed Sara Khan, who is the host and the producer of the show in trouble.
As per a report in Spotboye.com, Sara Khan had approached her friend, choreographer Rajeev Khinchi to be a part of the show. While he did come for the shoot, Rajeev wasn't happy with his portions that were supposed to go on air and had slapped Sara Khan with a notice to prevent it. Speaking to India-forums, Rajeev revealed, "I was asked to be part of Bitchy Bee and revealed my other side. So it was all as a friend we were discussing and laughing as it was said to be audition clips. I wasn't knowing that it was being shot to air. So I feel cheated and fooled. But I'm really not comfortable with its being air. Yesterday I came to knew when Sara called and said our episode will be airing this week. I have warned them to not air it if they do, I'll have to stop them legally."
When the portal contacted Sara, she denied not keeping Rajeev in the loop. She argued, "The concept of the show was made clear to everyone present on the sets, be it Rajeev or anyone else. The idea of Bitchy Bee is to reveal the real and at times, bitchy side of people, which never happens on TV shows otherwise. Rajeev is a dear friend and just like anyone, he was himself during the shoot."
She, however, agreed that Rajeev mentioned it to her that he was not comfortable with his portions and he wanted her to take them off, which she didn't do. Sara said, "I, in fact, called Rajeev a couple of days ago to tell that his footage has come out amazing and that it would be great for the show. But, he repeatedly told me to not to air his part etc. etc. That actually makes no sense, but I did not much heed to it and did not make a deal, because after all, he is a friend. The next day, I am slammed with this legal notice which left me shocked. I have no clue why is it an issue all of a sudden. Everything and everyone on the sets can vouch for me, if needed." Sara also claimed that she might take the legal route against Rajeev if needed.
Well, thus ends another friendship in tinsel-town just over the show. We do hope these two iron out their differences soon, instead of making matters murkier.
