Blackmail began with marriage proposal, Shamna Kasim recounts ordeal
Mumbai. Actress Shamna Kasim, who appeared in Rajinikanth’s film ‘Jailer 2’, has made several startling disclosures about the blackmailing incident she faced in 2020. The actress said the entire matter began with a marriage proposal, but later turned into fraud and an alleged attempt at extortion. In a recent interview, recalling that difficult phase, she said the whole sequence of events was like the story of a film.
According to Shamna, a family had contacted her with a marriage proposal. It was later found that several members of the same family were involved in the alleged fraud. She said members of the gang used different identities and voices to win people’s trust. The actress said that during the investigation, even police officers were surprised to learn that one person was speaking in five different voices.
The actress said that after the incident came to light, her name began to be aired repeatedly in the media. Although many media organisations supported her, she would panic whenever her name appeared on television. At that time, the police also supported her and her family.
Shamna had earlier clarified that she did not personally know the accused. Her family filed a police complaint after being deceived through a marriage proposal made using fake names, addresses and identities. Police arrested several members of the gang in the case.
The actress’s ordeal also underlines the need to remain alert against fraud and blackmail carried out in the name of marriage.
