Ranbir Kapoor is currently in the happiest phase of his life. Be it on the personal or the professional front, the ‘Rockstar’ actor is soaring high with each passing day. Kapoor’s last release ‘Sanju’, based on the life of actor Sanjay Dutt, has turned out to be stupendous and the highest grossing film of 2018 so far, leaving behind many big banner films. The film even broke several records at the box-office.

However, his happiness seems to be short-lived, as Ranbir has now found himself in a legal soup. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the actor has been sued by the tenant of his Pune residence. For the uninitiated, let us tell you that the Kapoor lad had leased out his luxury apartment in Trump Towers, Pune back in the year 2016.

Apparently, the tenant has sued Ranbir for not abiding by the terms of the rental agreement. The report further suggests that Sheetal Suryawanshi (tenant) has sought damages and interest for being evicted much before the lock-in period stated in the agreement. The lady has sued the actor for Rs 50.40 lakh along with interest of Rs 1.08 lakh, stating that her family suffered hardships due to the sudden eviction.

According to Sheetal, in August 2017, 11 months after she moved in, she was asked to vacate the apartment though the lock-in period was stated as 24 months in the agreement. She alleged that the actor asked her to vacate the house stating that he wanted to shift in the apartment.

While Suryawanshi levied heavy allegations, the actor, on the other hand, had a different tale to tell. Denying the allegations, the ‘Sanju’ star mentioned that Sheetal wasn’t asked to vacate the flat, she did it on her own will. Kapoor has also produced a copy of the agreement which mentions the lock-in-period as 12 months. According to Ranbir, the tenant had failed to pay the rent for three months, hence the said amount was deducted from the deposit that she had paid.

Ranbir’s response to the complaint states, “Plaintiff cannot unilaterally change, modify or interpret leave and license agreement to suit her convenience,”. Reportedly the next hearing of this case is scheduled to take place on August 28.

Well, only time will tell whose side of the story is true. Till then, keep watching out this space as we bring you the latest updates from B-town!
