Like Ranveer Singh, Bigg Boss 13 Fame Himanshi Khurana Gets ₹10 Crore Extortion Threat Over Voice Note

Punjabi actress Himanshi Khurana lodged a complaint with the Mohali police, claiming that she received an extortion threat of ₹10 crore from a foreign based gangster, officials said. The Mohali police said it has lodged an FIR on the basis of the complaint received from the actress. Police said Himanshi lodged a complaint regarding the extortion email received on her email ID. The threat to Himanshi follows similar incidents faced by director Rohit Shetty, whose home in Juhu, Mumbai, was fired at early in February, and Ranveer Singh, who was sent a WhatsApp voice note, demanding "crores" in extortion money.
