Mumbai: Bollywood actress Shipa Shetty sent a legal notice on Wednesday to Jasveer Jazz Barton and Bobby Khan who "posed" as her Agent and Manager.
Shilpa's Spokesperson Dale Bhagwagar said in a statement that Jazz, though was instrumental in Shilpa's tie-up with Endemol (the casting-agency for reality TV show Big Brother), "she (Jazz) never had any contract or agreement signed up with Shilpa.
“She was not even a friend, just an acquaintance," said the actress.
The Shetty family also plans to sue Jazz and Bobby on the charge of defamation and for allegedly misguiding the industry and public regarding Shilpa Shetty, Bhagwagar said.
The spokesperson said Shilpa's lawyer Rohini Vakil has sent a legal notice to Jazz Barton and Bobby as "we sensed Jazz was upto mischief when the entire UK media started addressing her as Shilpa's `agent' and Bobby as `manager'."
Shilpa was forced to take legal action as Jazz and Bobby who came to Mumbai and gave statements to Indian channels and newspapers against Shetty's.
Queries were also "misdirected" to Bobby and Jazz, Bhagwagar said adding "when we learnt that Jazz was brokering deals signing financial agreements and making commitments on Shilpa's behalf, it had to be announced and clarified that she (Jazz) was not the "agent".
When Shilpa's mother Sunanda Shetty went to London and gave out the facts about Jazz to the UK media, she took offence and began using derogatory language for Sunanda in the UK media, Bhagwagar alleged.
