The actress in her petition has demanded Rs. 10 lakh as monthly maintenance and a compensation of Rs. 2 crores for the trauma, agony and loss of business caused by their actions. The Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 actress claimed that her in-laws and her husband prevented her from working in films after marriage as they thought that the profession was not compatible with the family’s status in society.

The actress further revealed that she has made several attempts to reconcile with her in-laws but all went in vain. On the other hand, Gaurav Gupta has not publicly responded to any allegations made by his wife.
