Television and famous Bhojpuri actress Shweta Tiwari has been accused of cheating by her former employee Rajesh Pandey. Going by the reports of a web-portal peeingmoon.com, Rajesh accused Shweta Tiwari of not clearing his dues of Rs 53 thousand from the past two years.
As per reports, Rajesh Pandey worked as a teacher at the actress's institute named Shweta Tiwari's Creative School Of Acting. Rajesh said that he tried to reach Shweta on multiple occasions and also messaged her on WhatsApp but she blocked him.
Rajesh joined Shweta's acting school in 2012 however her institute shut down due to lack of students in 2018. Rajesh said, "I used to be a teacher at Shweta Tiwari's acting school for five years. Since 2012, I was associated with the academy where about 10-15 students regularly pursued acting. Unfortunately, two years ago, Shweta had to close her acting school as there were no students. However, they assured me that they would pay me. Today, it has been two years, neither she has given my remaining salary nor is giving the deducted money in the name of income tax."
"Today, amid the pandemic, people are coming forward to help each other but Shweta Tiwari is not giving back my money, which is 40000 a month. It is also to the extent that they deducted 10% of the salary in the name of tax, that they will deposit it in the Income Tax Department, which is not even deposited. The amount is Rs. 12000. Here all the schools are closed for 6-7 months. I am financially exhausted," Rajesh added.
Rajesh also said that the actress blocked him on WhatsApp when he asked for his money. He said, "At a time when no one has money, where do I go and whom should I ask for help? Shweta Tiwari is an inspiration to many people. I am ashamed of my condition. I have money to feed myself only for 3-4 days. I am looking forward to receiving my money."
