Genelia has received a legal notice from the Andhra Pradesh High Court to appear in person on April 25th in relation to a cheating case against a company for which she was the brand ambassador. Mr. Thirupathaiah filed a petition against Anjaniputra Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. and has alleged that five directors of the company and Genelia had cheated him by defaulting on giving him possession of a duplex house he had purchased from them.
Thirupathaiah also complained that in the FIR registered, the five directors were included but Genelia was left out. He said that Genelia had also cheated him as she was the brand ambassador and during promotional activities had allegedly said that she was one of the directors and had herself bought real estate from Anjaniputra. In doing so, she had given the impression that the company was trustworthy, Thirupathaiah has said.
