Nausheen Shah alleges film director scammed her out of Rs 3.5 crore

Actress Nausheen Shah in a latest interview alleged that film director Nabeel Lutfi scammed her out of Rs 3.5 crore.

While making an appearance on Green Entertainment‘s Ramadan transmission, Nausheen Shah revealed details about her dealings with film director Lutfi.

Shah disclosed giving him 20 million rupees for cryptocurrency investment after getting persuaded by his assurances. Additionally, she lent him 15 million rupees for his upcoming film as well.

However, Lutfi and his wife absconded with around 6 crore rupees, prompting Shah to caution others against similar scams.

Nausheen Shah said, “There is a director from our fraternity, his name is Nabeelur Rehman Lutfi who made the film 13. I gave them Rs35 lacs (Rs3.5 million) and these guys vanished,” said Shah. She continued, “So this guy Nabeel, and his wife, they were supposedly my friends. Nabeel said he works on cryptocurrency, so why don’t you invest with me? I was like, ‘Okay, what’s the reasonable amount?’ He said, ‘At least Rs2 million.’ So I said, ‘Fine,’ and I gave them – and check my smartness – nothing written, nothing read, I gave them Rs20 lacs (Rs2 million).”

Shah added that she lent the director a further Rs1.5 million (15 lacs) for his movie as a loan and that he had fled with the money.

She went on to add, “Whoever knows him, just be very careful. Be aware. If you want to have any dealings with him, it should be in writing. Slowly and gradually, it came to light that I was not the only one. They took about 5 to 6 crores (Rs60 million) from different people and since then, the husband and wife have vanished.”

 

Shah also urged the public not to fall victim to Lutfi’s allegedly deceitful schemes, cautioning against any financial transactions with him.
