Veteran Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman, who has worked in several notable films in the 70s and the 80s and mesmerised movie buffs with her spectacular performances, has filed a complaint against businessman Amar Khanna.

The 66-year-old popular actress of her time, who had shot to fame with films like ‘Hare Rama, Hare Krishna’, ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’, ‘Heera Panna’, ‘Yaadon Ki Baraat’, ‘Don’, among others, has been allegedly harassed by a 38-year-old man on WhatsApp.

The complaint has been registered under Sections 304 D (stalking) and 509 (insulting modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code.

According to news agency, the actress has filed a molestation and stalking complaint against Amar Khanna at the Juhu police station. In her complaint, the actress said that Khanna molested her over the past few months and misbehaved with her.

Reports suggest that the actress and the businessman were good friends; however, the relationship had soured over a couple of fights and disagreements following which she stopped talking to Amar Khanna. Nevertheless, the businessman allegedly kept calling and following her.

According to the police, the accused would allegedly harass her by continuously sending objectionable messages and other media content on her Whatsapp mobile number and would force her to interact with him. Also, he would threaten Aman that if she refuses to speak with him then her son will face dire consequences.

Parambr Singh Dahiya, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone 9, in a statement, said, “He was harassing the actress on Whatsapp since January 25 and would send her objectionable videos and photos. Even after warning him, the accused did not stop and continued the act. The actress then approached us and lodged the complaint.” “The accused had also created a ruckus outside the residence of the actress during the night,” added the cop.

Amar Khanna is said to be absconding at the moment. Parambr Singh further said, “We have registered a case under relevant sections of Indian Penal Code and Information Technology act. The accused has not been arrested yet and our probe is on.” Watch this space for further updates.

Lady luck shone on him in 2018, and he landed noticeable roles in the action sequences of many movies, he said while speaking with news agency. He also has a fight sequence with Akshay Kumar in his upcoming film 'Sooryavanshi'.

Just before the nationwide lockdown which started on March 22, Sahoo had returned home to Odisha after shooting a fight sequence in Jaipur. Since then, with no work, the actor has been living off his savings to sustain his family. But, after four months of no work, and a medical emergency, a major part of his savings was drained.

To find work, he moved to state capital Bhubaneswar, but to no avail. In the end, Sahoo had to resort to selling vegetables in Rasulgad there.

Sahoo is still hopeful and said that he'll again try his luck in Bollywood once the situation is back to normal, till then he'll struggle, like others, for survival.
