When South actress Meera Chopra lodged a complaint with the Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi police some days ago claiming that somebody was sending her lewd mails, it once more brought into focus the fact that she was Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra’s cousin. The police immediately swung into action and registered an FIR. It is now come learned that the person harassing Priyanka’s estranged cousin is apparently a distant relative based abroad, reveal police sources say.
“The connection was registered in the name of some SH Ahuja, we couldn’t ascertain who she is related to. But the family has confirmed that Ahuja is a part of the extended family and is close to the family,” a police source adds.
The moment the FIR was registered there were rumours of a renewal of the apparent animosity between Priyanka and her cousin, who have never acknowledged each other’s presence in public.
“Priyanka is cut up with Meera. They don’t see eye-to-eye and the two families don’t talk at all. Their relationship hit an all time low when Priyanka discovered that Meera had hired the services of her ex-secretary Prakash Jaju,” informs a source.
For those in the dark, Jaju, a filmmaker now, used to handle Priyanka’s work, and is reportedly responsible for getting her plum projects.But both reportedly had a massive fall-out after Priyanka’s mobile phone bill was leaked to the media. On August 26, 2008,Jaju was arrested by Mumbai police on a complaint (of threat and harassment) lodged by the actor’s father Dr. Ashok Chopra at the Oshiwara police station. Jaju, in a counter complaint from Indore, alleged that the actor is taking the help of Chhota Shakeel to threaten him.
“Following the incident, Priyanka hit the roof when she got to know that her cousin had gone to the same person with whom things had gotten ugly,” says the source.
Meera, a starlet in South films, is apparently planning a press conference to disclose the name of the culprit.
