Ayesha`s Husband Drags Divya Dutta To Court !

A producer has filed an arbitration suit against Bollywood actress Divya Dutta for not honouring the terms of the contract both had entered into.

Sameer Vashi, a Mumbai-based producer, had signed on Dutta for his play 'Muze Rang De', but the latter backed out of the project because of differences with co-actress and Vashi's wife Ayesha Jhulka, his advocate Mukesh Vashi told reporters.

Since Dutta has broken the contract, Vashi filed an arbitration suit in the High Court, claiming compensation of over Rs 73 lakhs.

Vashi claimed that he suffered great financial loss due to Dutta's quitting the play as he had to cancel scheduled shows in USA.

Dutta's defence is that she could not act in the play because she was not keeping well. But Vashi's lawyer have contradicted this, pointing out that she has accepted other projects, including a film with director J P Dutta.

He had also sought attachment of Dutta's property -- so that compensation can be recovered if the court upholds his case, but Dutta's lawyer opposed it, and instead gave an undertaking to the court today that she would not sell her flat in Juhu until the case is disposed off.
