Ashu Reddy, a Tollywood actress and contestant from the Telugu Bigg Boss reality show, has been accused of defrauding Y V Dharmendra, a London-based software engineer, of ₹9.35 crore (approximately $1.13 million USD) under the pretense of marriage. The allegations date back to 2018, when Dharmendra met Reddy through a mutual friend. He claims that she promised to marry him, despite her being a divorcee, and sought financial assistance for her education and living expenses, claiming her father had stopped supporting her. The complainant states he provided significant funds for her personal expenses, including a flat, gold, and a car. However, when he insisted on arranging a meeting between their families in July 2020, Reddy reportedly rejected the proposal and began avoiding him. Despite an agreement to repay ₹70 lakh (approximately $84,000 USD) through post-dated cheques, she did not fulfill this commitment. Reddy has publicly denied the allegations, stating she will take legal action against those spreading false information.
