As per the sources, Upasana Singh has now asked for a compensation of rupees 1 crore from Harnaaz Sandhu for the damage done to her film. In her statement, Upasana said, “My film’s release date was May 27, and for us, Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu’s selection as Miss Universe was the biggest day of our life. In honour of her, we had a party. Everyone was aware of our strong relationship. She stopped returning my calls once I informed her that the promotional dates for my movie are around May 27. Then I started contacting her and inquiring about the movie’s May 27 release. Tell me when I can expect to receive promotions. She ignored my emails after I started sending them to her.”
Upasana also said, “It appears that Harnaaz is currently being overshadowed by Punjabi actors and the business as a whole. She claimed to be a proud Punjabi when she won the pageant, but she backed off when it came to helping the business and promoting it internationally. Drama is all around us right now. Hollywood and Bollywood, ki padi hai. Her place in the Punjabi cinema business is too small. Mein Sunna, that log change ho jaate hain, Aaj dekh rahi hun!”
For the unversed, Upasana Singh filed a case against Harnaaz Sandhu in Chandigarh court on 4 August. The next hearing of the case will proceed on 7 February.
