Anant Narayan, Managing Director, Crème Talent management: “I, on behalf of Crème Talent management have filed a criminal complaint (lawsuit) against Sayali Bhagat under section 499, 500 of Indian Penal Code (Criminal defamation). A civil suit for recovery of Rs. 10,00,000 has also been filed by Crème Talent management and me against Ms Sayali Bhagat at Honourable Court of Gurgaon. In addition to the civil suit aforementioned, I’ve also filed another suit for recovery of 7,50,000 against Sayali Bhagat at Gurgaon Court.”
Things seem to be getting curiouser and curiouser in the Sayali Bhagat case. After she went to town, accusing a number of Bollywood personalities of improper behavior with her (including Amitabh Bachchan) and thereby threatening to sue them, the tables have now turned on her and instead, she has been dragged to court.
Her PR and talent management (?) agency have filed a lawsuit against the ex Miss India for criminal defamation and for the recovery of money due to them from her.
Here is the exact and unedited email sent to us by Creme Talent Management:
“Ever since its inception, Crème Talent management has earned an impeccable reputation in the film and fashion fraternity world over. Former Miss India, upcoming actor Sayali Bhagat wished to engage our business management and public relations services out of her free will. Consequently, an MoU was signed between Sayali and Crème Talent Management on Aug 27, 2011. She authorised Crème to garner publicity for her. We arranged as many as 15 exclusive interviews and circulated 8 press releases on her behalf that were carried in most leading publications. Sayali was thrilled with the coverage. Instead of performing her part of the MoU, that is but not limited to, clearing pending invoices (which she has still not cleared), Sayali went on a rampage to harass us by circulating false, vexatious and malicious statements to the media against Crème Talent management and me.
Sayali went to the extent of falsely stating that we never had any business relations with her and that she never permitted us as her agents. Sayali’s utterly false statements and damaging reports have brought Crème Talent Management in poor light and tarnished our reputation. To our utter shock, Sayali served us a legal notice dated 27.10.2011 levelling baseless tainted allegations against us. Sayali turned turtle by specifically disowning the press release dated 24.10.2011 which was released by us on her specific instructions.
Its clear Sayali is playing a vicious double game. She used Crème Talent management to stay in the limelight and disowned us once her goals were achieved. I want everyone to know that Crème Talent management and its entire team have merely been reduced to pawns in Sayali’s dirty scheme of things.
I, on behalf ofCrème Talent management have filed a criminal complaint (lawsuit) against Sayali Bhagat under section 499, 500 of Indian Penal Code (Criminal defamation). A civil suit for recovery of Rs. 10,00,000 has also been filed by Crème Talent management and me against Ms Sayali Bhagat at Honourable Court of Gurgaon. In addition to the civil suit aforementioned, I’ve also filed another suit for recovery of 7,50,000 against Sayali Bhagat at Gurgaon Court.
On Nov 10. 2011 yet another malicious defamatory statement was made by Ms Sayali Bhagat wherein she falsely stated that we have “taken the police lightly” and “been involved in other cyber crimes”. These statements are preposterous. On what grounds or capacity is Ms Bhagat claiming we’re involved in “cyber crimes”? We have not committed any crime. I have the highest amount of love, respect and regard for Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and I’ve always been vocal about my love for him. I reiterate that my company and I have only been reduced to innocent pawns in Sayali’s ugly scheme of things. She used us.
All emails were sent out on Sayali Bhagat’s clear, specific instructions.She made the allegations she made against the actors in question well aware of what she was doing. I’ve already had a word with the police from the cyber cell and I’ve convinced them that we are innocent. We’ve been victimized and they understand that”
