EXCLUSIVE: Rashami Desai and Arhaan Khan hit out at each other over leaked bank statements

After joining ‘Bigg Boss 13’ as a much-in-love couple, Rashami Desai and Arhaan Khan’s relationship suffered a blow on the reality show, when it was revealed that Arhaan had a child from his first marriage. After the show ended, the actress had minced no words in saying that their relationship was over. And now, their equation has taken a murkier turn. A couple of days ago, the screenshots of Rashami’s bank statements were posted on social media, apparently by one of her fans. It showed that lakhs had been transferred to Arhaan’s (originally Mazhar Shaikh) account while Rashami was inside the BB house. While Arhaan blames Rashami for the ‘leaks’, she refutes the allegation. BT spoke to both of them and this is what they had to say…

Rashami Desai: I have no clue who leaked those statements

The actress says, “These transactions were made in my absence, and that too, without my knowledge, when I was inside the BB house. When I came out and learnt about it, I shared the screenshots of my personal documents and these transactions with my accounting staff and a few others. Why did Arhaan transfer my money into his account? Also, I don’t know the people he has further transferred those funds to. Apart from the `15 lakh that Arhaan has to pay me, as can be seen in the screenshots, he owes me more money, which he is refusing to return. Talking about the screenshots, I have no clue who has leaked them on social media. If I had to leak anything, I wouldn’t have waited for two months after BB. I don’t want anything to do with Arhaan. The whole incident is disturbing and it has taken a toll on me, emotionally.”

Arhaan Khan: This is a curated plan to malign me
Arhaan says, “Nobody can release these statements except Rashami or me. Since the allegations are against me, it’s obvious that she leaked those screenshots. Half the transactions involving huge amounts aren’t mine. Rashami had set up a production house, which I had joined as a partner. I have invested equally, both financially and emotionally. Any transfer of funds is either my rightful profit or return of debt. Also, before making such allegations, it is to be noted that transfer of funds wouldn’t have been possible had Rashami not given me signed cheques. She had asked me to transfer money to certain people in her absence. It was work-related. She was fully aware of the transactions and I have bills to prove my claim. I strongly believe that this is a curated plan to malign me, as I had received messages, warning me against adversities post April 15. It’s unfortunate that our relationship has reached a point of no return.”
